[Verse 1]
Take anything to get you by
Taste the rain and stay awake tonight
And all the things that make you mine
But you only love me on your time

[Verse 2]
You broke the window and set the school on fire
I always knew that you were the 'rock and roll child'
Telling you, all the things I've done
Fell by the wayside at every one

[Chorus]
Burning like the sun through the years
For you, my love, I cried a thousand tears
And all these things I know that make you mine
You only love me on your time

[Verse 3]
Went to a preacher to read my mind
He said that all good things will come in time
The doctor asked me why I keep on drinking
I said so I can forget the feeling

[Chorus]
Burning like the sun through the years
For you, my love, I cried a thousand tears
And all these things I know that make you mine
You only love me on your time
