His lips don't move, but still he speaks
His dark green eyes stare at me
He tells me of his Papa workin on the railway
Blowin' his harmonica in the morning.

bridge:
Checkin' in, checkin' out
Feelin' loved, I'm filling out
Deeper fish, deeper lungs
Deeper words for the deeper tongue
He said I'm telling you...(i'm telling you, etc)

chorus:
I'm Burning the River, yeah
Burning the River...
(burning, i'm burning...oh the river, yeah, etc)

So I go home
A girl lies in my bed
I hold her hipbone and pull her closer
I put her cold hands between my thighs
Stare out the window into a darkening sky

[bridge] 		e-----------------
[chorus]		B-----------------
(guitar solo)--->	G------7--10r9----
			D--7h9------------
			A-----------------
			E-----------------
			
She's left only her body for me
I lie here feeling her hair waiting for sleep
In the early, early hours of night, of night
In the early, early hours of night, of night

[bridge]
[chorus x2]
