Me and Sarah Jane (Live from Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY, 29th November 1981)

[Verse 1]
The fires are burning, ooh in another land
But don't start counting, no, 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
With a pack on my back, I'm going swiftly nowhere
Heart in my ear beating like a drum
Where will you go? Oh

[Interlude]
All by yourself
Hah, ooh, hah, ooh, hah, hah, hah, hah

[Verse 2]
And now I'm standing on the corner
I'm waiting in the rain
But then in sunlight without warning
I invent a name

[Chorus]
Well, me and Sarah Jane
We had a special thing going
Me and Sarah Jane

[Verse 3]
It was a time of love and laughter
It wouldn't come again
We had our round of joy, but after
Then began the pain, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Me and Sarah Jane
We had a special thing going
Well, me and Sarah Jane, Sarah Jane

[Post-Chorus]
Ohh, searching for a clue
Traces on the sand, ah-ha

[Bridge]
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
Crawling through those same old crowded rooms
La-la-la-la-la-la, ohh

[Outro]
Me and Sarah Jane, we had it coming, all the pain
Walkin' down the streets and finding nothing is the same
Ah, but now the city lights are dimming one by one
It costs us too much money to keep them on, oh, oh
Me and Sarah Jane, in silence, walk along the shore
Tears of joy and mocking laughter, words lost in the wind, oh
The tide was rising, but there we stayed
We had no fear of dying, we weren't afraid, now, now, now, now, ohh
