Genesis - Me & Sarah Jane (Live) lyrics

The fires are burning, ooh in another land
But don't start counting
Ooh 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 with a pack on my back

I'm going swiftly nowhere, heart in my ear
Beating like a drum

Where will you go? Aw

All by yourself
(Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah)

And now I'm standing on the corner
I'm waiting in the rain
But then in sunlight without warnin'
I invent a name

Me and Sarah Jane
We had a special thing goin'
Me and Sarah Jane

It was a time of love and
Laughter it wouldn't come again
We had a round of joyful laughter ooh
Then began the pain

Me and Sarah Jane
We had a special thing goin'
Me and Sarah Jane (Sarah Jane)
I'm searching for the clue
Traces on the sand

First, I'm flying, going round, round, round
Then, I'm sliding, going down, down, down
It 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
Oh, but now the city lights
Are dimmin' one by one
It costs too much money to keep them on oh

Me and Sarah Jane
In silence walk along the shore
Tears of joy and mocking laughter
Words lost in the wind
Oh, the tide was risin' but there we stayed
We had no fear of dying, we weren't afraid
No no, no no, no no!
