"Burning Ground" is a song written by Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and included on his 1997 album, The Healing Game. For this song, Morrison got his inspiration from a common scene from his childhood when jute was shipped to Belfast from India in the 1950s.[1]

Clinton Heylin calls the song "a potentially important song about a man still caught half-way between heaven and hell."[2]
