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
