Johnny Flynn - Jefferson's Torch lyrics

[Johnny Flynn - Jefferson's Torch lyrics]

I am born in the reeds
I'm an idea of magnitude
Giving birth to it'self ad infinitum
I am Jefferson's torch in a bright
Stellar majesty

Oh I'm burning, oh I'm burning
Oh I'm burning
Yes I'm burning, oh I'm burning
Yes I'm burning for thee

We were measured in the
Dark by timetabled tragedy
There's a real turn of age in disaster
Now I'm firing a well our
Politicians gave to ruin

'Till I'm burning, oh I'm burning
Yes I'm burning
Oh I'm burning, oh I'm burning
Yes I'm burning for thee

River run run run run run
Run run river through me
Through the mud mud mud mud mud
Let me feel, let me feel, let me feel you

Oh I'm burning, oh I'm burning
Oh I'm burning
Yes I'm burning, oh I'm burning
Oh I'm burning for thee

River run run run run run
Run run river through me
Through the mud mud mud mud mud
Let me feel, let me feel, let me feel you

Now come out from your cups
Find your love in the doorways
Have a care to fill the vessel of your heart
Hold me tight through the storms
And the winds of revolution

And always burning, oh he's burning
Oh he's burning
Oh he's burning, yes he's burning
Oh he's burning
Oh he's burning, yes he's burning
Oh he's burning for thee
