Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop
Turned around and suddenly you were gone
Like some birds from paradise, like fire and ice
We turned around and suddenly you were gone, gone, gone
[Verse 2]
Summer burns a hole inside, years are golden once again
My thought returns to you, my dear, young friend
[Verse 3]
Oh, come this way, you look down this way
I go down on the street where the wild wind's blowin'
Here comes a hurricane
[Verse 4]
I said, oh, come this way, will you look down this way?
I need you tonight, oh, I need you around me
[Verse 5]
I'm lookin' through the windows, mind goes in a whirl
There's a multitude of candles in the windows of this world
I'm lookin' out to colors, checkin' out the straights
I'm counting out the numbers and tomorrow never change
[Verse 6]
And I hear you and I love ya, I'll follow you elsewhere
And I remember this occasion, I remember the day
Well, we got panic in the evening, we got fallout in the streets
I hear you and I follow you, and I call you and I say
[Verse 7]
And I hear your sister call out and I hear her call your name
I would call it sweet surrender, things won't be the same
But don't you think that I don't care
And don't you think that I don't know
And don't you keep on callin' out in a place not far from here
[Verse 8]
And I hear big wheels are turnin' and I tell you not to fear
And they say this is the time, these are our street fighting years
And I hear big wheels are turnin' and I tell you not to fear
And they say this is the time, these are our street fighting years
[Verse 9]
And I love you, I look for you
And I walk to you, well, I walk to you
And I hear big wheels are turnin' and they're rollin' out of gear
They're callin' out tomorrow
