Solomon Burke - Does My Ring Burn Your Finger lyrics
[Solomon Burke - Does My Ring Burn Your Finger lyrics]
It was not what you wanted
Now the walls say your name
And the pictures are haunted
Does my ring burn your finger? Did
My love weigh you down?
Was the promise too much to keep around?
I remember your words and I
Can't keep from cryin
I could never believe that
Your kisses were lyin'
Was there somethin' from the past
Buried in a shallow grave?
Did you think that it was
Too far gone to save?
Please tell me baby, please tell me now
You say that I should just go on
Now please tell me, how
Now it's just me and the night
And I'm so broken hearted
I just wait in the dark
Here for my dearly departed
Did my ring burn your finger? Did
My love weigh you down?
Was the promise too much to keep around?
