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 There's a letter in my pocket I read a hundred times and it's burning a hole in my mind Gotta get myself together Gotta try to understand That she's lost and gone forever And she's found another man But every night I think about her Lying by his side, Lord, it's burning a hole in my mind Oh, it's burning It keeps on burning Lord, it's burning a hole in my mind As I live each moment over Of the love we used to know That old spark begins to smoulder That old flame begins to grow Then the fire keeps getting hotter A little at a time till it's burning a hole in my mind Don't you know it's burning a hole in my mind Yeah, it's burning a hole in my mind
