Patricia Vonne Texas Burning Vonne/LaRoche Texas burning see the heat rising The fields have withered and the wells run dry Now my heart is yearning where the home fires burning bright I'm going home, I'm going home I know Ageless mother paint me a picture With shades of sorrow and golden pride Love will never leave you lonely like a lost child crawling in the night Who's gonna hold you who's gonna hold you now Well I don't want wait here any longer I just want to lay on warm familiar ground Texas burning until tomorrow it's where they'll lay me down Texas burning with it's red eyes shining how I miss that comfort As every day goes by now my heart is yearning where the home fires Burning in the night I'm going home yeah, I'm going home I know * I wrote this song in my NY apt when I was feeling homesick for my family back home in Texas.
