Burning a Hole by Billy Joe Royal Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I sit beside my window
And the rain begins to fall
There's a girl that I remember
And a love that I recall
There's a letter in my pocket
I've read a hundred times
And it's burnin' a hole in my mind

[Verse 2]
Gotta get myself together
Gotta try to understand
That she's lost and gone forever
And she's found another man
But every night I think about her
Lyin' by his side
Lord, it's burnin' a hole in my mind

[Chorus]
Oh, it's burnin'
It keeps on burnin'
Lord, it's burnin'
A hole in my mind
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
As I live each moment over
Of the love we used to know
That old spark begins to smolder
That old flame begins to grow
And the fire keeps gettin' hotter
A little at a time
'Til it's burnin' a hole in my mind

[Chorus]
Don't you know it's
Burnin' a hole in my mind?
Yeah, it's
Burnin' a hole in my mind
