Burning
The Ivory Tower Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eyes of green running deep
In the heat I see visions of you
By the pool, by the sea
You're looking hot and your looking at me
In the sun, on the sand
Beads of sweat fall across your tan
Through the shades, can't you see
That I need your love to rescue me

Every day, in the night
Through the light can't stop dreaming of you
Passion burns, heart's in flames
I need you now while I'm feeling no pain
Earth below, sky above
Open up, let me drown in your love
Through the shades can't you see
That with you I'd be in ecstasy

Eyes of green running deep
In the heat I see visions of you
In the sun, on the sand
Beads of sweat fall across your tan
Every day, in the night
Through the light can't stop dreaming of you




Through the shades can't you see
That I need your love to rescue me
