Simple Minds - Street Fighting Years lyrics

Chased you out of this world, didn't mean to stop I turned around and suddenly you where gone Like some bird from paradise, the fire and ice We turned around and suddenly you where gone, gone, gone And now summer burns a hole inside and years are golden once again My thoughts return to you my dear young friend Oh come 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 come down this way Will you look down this way I need you tonight I need you around me I'm looking through the windows And my mind goes in a whirl Well there's a multitude of candles Burning in the windows of this world I'm looking at the colours Checking out the straights I'm counting out the numbers Will tomorrow never change? Still i hear you and i love you And i'll follow you elsewhere And i'll remember this occasion I'll remember being aware 'cause we've got panic in the evening We've got fall-out in the streets And i hear you and i follow you And i'll call out and i'll say That i can hear your sister call out And i hear her call your name They're calling sweet surrender And 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 hear big wheels are turning Some things are not to fear They say this is the time and place They call street fighting years And i hear great 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 hear big wheels are turning Is there no way out of here? They'll be calling out tomorrow. Words and music : simple minds reproduced without permission
