Written in April 2019, “Burnin' Train” recalls a profound and passionate relationship.
It may be about Springsteen’s relationship with Patti Scialfa and her becoming the mother of his children.
[Verse 1]
Zero’s my number
Time is my hunter
I wanted you to heal me
But instead you set me on fire
[Verse 2]
We were out over the borders
I washed you in holy water
We whispered our black prayers
And rose up in flames
[Chorus]
Take me on your burnin’ train
Take me on your burnin’ train
[Verse 3]
White sun burnin'
Black wings beatin'
I ran my fingers 'cross the hollow of your stomach
As you lay breathing
[Pre-Chorus]
With our shared faith rising dark and decayed
Take me and shake me from this mortal cage
[Chorus]
Takе me on your burnin' train
Take me on your burnin' train
[Post-Chorus]
Somеthing’s shining in the light 'neath your breast
The thick smell of you on my chest
[Verse 4]
On your bed of thorns
I brought you shining gifts
Wiped the sweat from your brow
And I touched your lips
[Verse 5]
Sheets stained with sweat
Outside the endless rain
Darlin', I'm blessed in your blood
And marked by Cain
[Chorus]
Take me on your burnin' train
Take me on your burnin' train
[Outro]
Take me on your burnin' train
