I Burn for You Lyrics

[Verse]
Now that i have found you
In the coolth of your evening smile
The shade of your parasol
And your love flows through me
Though i drink at your pool
I burn for you, i burn for
You and i are lovers
When night time folds around our bed
In peace we sleep entwined
And your love flows through me
Though an ocean soothes my head
I burn for you, i burn for
Stars will fall from dark skies
As ancient rocks are turning
Quiet fills the room
And your love flows through me
Though i lie here so still
I burn for you, i burn for you
I burn
See Sting Live

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
