Well, there's a hot wind blowing tonight in the east,
|
And I heard that the park is filled tonight with police.
|
On the radio there's nothing but a man saying
|
to stay inside.
|
Well, I remember what you said on the telephone,
|
That you didn't feel like it was safe to stay alone.
|
And you would get yourself to me if you could find
|
a way across the line.
|
|
But there's fire tonight on your side of town,
|
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
|
Fire tonight on your side of town.
|
I watch and wait for you to come around.
|
|
Well, there's a faint sound of sirens tonight in the air,
|
And I heard that the downtown streets tonight are bare.
|
On the TV here they're telling me the roads are all
|
closed down.
|
You said that if you couldn't take the car you'd walk
|
instead.
|
It was the last thing you said before the line went dead.
|
And now I'm waiting by the window holding all the things
|
of yours I've found.
|
|
But there's fire tonight on your side of town,
|
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
|
Fire tonight on your side of town.
|
I watch and wait for you to come around.
|
|
I know we always said that we were free.
|
I know we never thought this would succeed.
|
But now your face is all that I can see.
|
|
But there's fire tonight on your side of town,
|
Orange light in the sky without a sound.
|
Fire tonight on your side of town.
|
I watch and wait for you to come around.
