Genesis - Me and Sarah Jane lyrics

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
