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
