Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop I turned around and suddenly you where gone Like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice We turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, gone And now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again My thoughts return to you my dear young friend
Oh come this way Will you look down this way I go down on the street Where the wild wind's blowing Here comes a hurricane
I say come down this way Will you look down this way I need you tonight I need you around me
I'm looking through the windows And my mind goes in a whirl Well there's a multitude of candles Burning in the windows of this world I'm looking at the colours Checking out the straights I'm counting out the numbers Will tomorrow never change?
Still I hear you and I love you And I'll follow you elsewhere And I'll remember this occasion I'll remember being aware
'cause we've got panic in the evening We've got fall-out in the streets And I hear you and I follow you And I'll call out and I'll say That I can hear your sister call out And I hear her call your name They're calling sweet surrender And things won't be the same And don't you think that I don't care And don't you think that I don't know And don't you hear them calling out In a place not far from here
And I hear big wheels are turning Some things are not to fear They say this is the time and place They call street fighting years
And I hear great wheels are turning And I tell you not to fear They say this is the time and place They call street fighting years
And I love you, I look for you And I walk to you, I walk to you And I hear big wheels are turning Is there no way out of here? They'll be calling out tomorrow.
