[Verse 1]
Where'd you go, my sweet devotion?
Can I find you in that sea of those old gravel highways?
You are stronger 'cause I'm weak
You are wiser 'cause I seek
[Chorus]
I'm burning Rome
Oh, I'm burning Rome
[Verse 2]
Lord, I know that you can hear my same sad songs
But the numbness that falls on my heart on those old southern nights
You are hurting when I cry
I'm screaming, "Why, oh why
[Chorus]
Am I burning Rome?
Am I burning Rome?"
[Verse 3]
There it goes, that precious light upon my feet
Now I am carried down by the stones of that young heartache
I'm stronger 'cause you're weak
I'm wiser 'cause I seek
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm burning Rome
Oh, I'm burning Rome
I'm burning Rome
I'm burning, I'm burning Rome
[Outro]
I'm burning, I'm burning Rome
I'm burning, I'm burning Rome, baby
I'm burning Rome
I'm burning, I'm burning Rome
