The fires are burning in another land
Don't start counting, don't start counting
Colder and colder, the ice is moving closer
And it gets me down
Going 'round and 'round and down the same old track
Pack on my back
Going swiftly nowhere, heart in my ear
Beating like a drum
Where will you go?
All by yourself
(Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah)
And now I'm standing on the corner, waiting in the rain
But then in sunlight without warning, I invent a name
Me and Sarah Jane, we had a special thing going
Me and Sarah Jane
It was a time of love and laughter, it wouldn't come again
We had our 'round of joyful laughter then began the pain
Me and Sarah Jane, we had a special thing goin'
Me and Sarah Jane (Sarah Jane)
I'm searching for a clue, traces on the sand
First, I'm flying, going 'round, 'round, 'round
Then, I'm sliding, going down, down, down
Doesn't matter – where I start, I always end up
Crawling through those same old crowded rooms
Me and Sarah Jane, we had it coming, all the pain
Walkin' down the streets and finding nothing is the same
And now the city lights are dimming one by one
It costs too much money to keep them on
Me and Sarah Jane, in silence, walk along the shore
Tears of joy and mocking laughter, words lost in the wind
The tide was rising, but there we stayed
We had no fear of dying, we weren't afraid
