Fire Tonight

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
Fire tonight on your side of town
I watch and wait for you to come around
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 are 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
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
