"She Burns It All" lyrics - RICHARD THOMPSON

Build your dreams and towers to the sky
All to dust and ruin in the blinking of an eye

[Chorus:]
When love comes to call
When love comes to call
She burns it all

Crow feet, toad skin, steal a serpent's kiss
Mandrake root or holy water, heaven or abyss

[Chorus:]
When love comes to call
When love comes to call
She burns it all

Snakes and ladders, life's old ups and downs
Words that sting and words that tear, the news flies all around

[Chorus:]
When love comes to call
When love comes to call
She burns it all

Dead men dreaming, dreaming of the sun
Sun will wake the old revenges, curse on everyone

[Chorus:]
When love comes to call
When love comes to call
She burns it all

Safe inside that world you hold so dear
Culture, honour, upright standing, righteous and sincere

[Chorus:]
When love comes to call
When love comes to call
When love comes to call
She burns it all
She burns it all
