Chased you out of this world
Didn't mean to stop
We turned around and suddenly
You where gone
Like some bird from paradise
Fire and ice
We turned around and suddenly
You where gone, gone, gone
Summer burns a hole inside
Years are goldern once again
My thourght returns to you
My dear old friend
You look down this way
Will you look down this way
I go down on the street
Where the wild wind's blowing
Here comes a hurricane
I say a come down this way
Will you look down this way
I need you tonight
I need you around me
I'm looking out the windows
Mind goes in a whirl
There's a multitude of colours
On the wings of this world
I'm looking out to colours
Checking out the straights
I'm counting out the numbers
Will tommorow never change ?
Still I hear you and I love you
And I follow you elsewhere
And I remember this occasion
I remember being aware
We've got panic in the evening
We're got fall-out in the streets
And I here you and I follow to you
And I call you and I say
And I here your sister call out
And I here you call her name
They're calling sweet surrender
No things won't be the same
And don't you think that I don't care
And don't you think that I don't know
And don't you hear them calling out
In a place not far from here
And I here big wheels are turning
And I tell you not to fear
They say this is the time and place
They call street fighting years
And I here big wheels are turning
And I tell you not to fear
They say this is the time and place
They call street fighting years
And I love you, I look for you
And I walk to you, I walk to you
And I here big wheels are turning
Is there no way out of here ?
They'll be calling out tomorrow.
