fire tonight lyrics

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

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 now
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

And 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
