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 Got a letter in my pocket That I've read a hundred times And Lord it's Burnin' a hole in my mind Got to get myself together Got to try to understand That she's lost And gone forever That she found another man But every night I think about her Lying by his side Lord it's burnin' hole in my mind Ohh it's burnin' Keeps on burnin' Burnin' hole in my mind Ohh it's a-burnin' Keeps on burnin' Burnin' hole in my mind As I live each moment over Of the love we used to know Those old sparks begin to smolder That old flame begins to grow And the fire keeps getting hotter Unbidden light of time Lord its burnin' a hole in my mind Believe me baby It's a-burnin' a hole in my mind Believe me brother It's a-burnin' a hole in my mind
