Robert Vincent - Burns (Like Cotton in the Fields) Lyrics

I've never realised you could feel such pain
And your eyes, they burn like cotton in the fields

You have a love that smothers
It tears and claws at a hole in your heart
And your hands, they shake like children in the snow

Even when you're low
You know where to go

I had a hope, a vision
That I could fix that gaping hole in your life but I failed, and now I'm scraping up my own

I've never turned and ran
I just don't want you standing seeing me cry
At the sight of you fading quickly every day

There's a light that shines
At the end of every tunnel this dark
There's a hand that's waiting
It's calling out your name

In a God we trust
But do we really have the faith to survive and to walk And guide them from the dark

I'd do it all again
I wouldn't change a thing
I know where I went wrong
I wouldn't change a thing

In my side there's a knife
That twists with every ache of your heart
And it burns, like cotton in the fields
