Genesis - Me and Sarah Jane Lyrics

The fires are burning, ooh, in another land
But don't start counting, no don't start counting
Colder, 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
A 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
I'm waiting in the rain
And 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 have come again
We had our round of joy but after
And then began the pain

Me and Sarah Jane
We had a special thing going
Me and Sarah Jane
Sarah Jane

Searching for a 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
Falling through those same old crowded rooms

Me and Sarah Jane
We had it coming all the pain
Walking down the streets
And finding nothing is the same

Oh, now the city lights
They're dimming one by one
It costs us too much money
To keep them all 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 no no, no no, oh no
