Burning Down One Side

Robert Plant - Burning Down One Side


 (Pictures At Eleven)


 


 Slipped through the window by the back door


 Caught short in transit with my love


 Jumped up, fell back, cut off from romance,


 How could I fall without a shove


 


 Tip-toed like thunder on my feelings


 You rock me gently with your sighs


 My knees are weak - my head is reeling


 Consumed by the fire in your eyes


 


 Stepped in and shattered my defences,


 Just playing hookey with my heart


 Slipped through the window by the back door


 And took the keys to my poor heart, yes my poor heart


 


 Try as I might - try as I may


 Yes I'll try anything to make you stay


 Cause I need your love,


 I need your love,


 I need your love,


 I need your love,


 


 I'm looking high - I'm looking low,


 Can't find where did my baby go


 Gotta find out why she ran away


 I don't know where did my baby stay


 Try as I might - try as I may


 Yes I'll try anything to make you stay


 


 Fire down the Boulevard d'Amour


 Shoot through the neon in the night


 Hot foot through alleys - check the doorways


 Try that old parking lot on Ninth


 


 There's three-course kissing in the same place


 Oh, but that don't help me out no more


 I've been away so long and dreaming


 Little girl ain't I seen you before


 Little girl...
