Don't you look back on a big lost world Crying out tomorrow Don't you look down like the heroes say Come tell me all about it Take me to the streets where the bonfires burn Take me in your arms and I'll fade away When I hear you say what you got to say Anywhere you go, you know I'll still be waiting All the things she said, she said Little darling close your eyes, there'll be no compromising Of all the things she said, she said Throw me to the street where the heartbeats beating "Beating all around me" To the peaceful revolution And the perfect wave, surround me Tell me 'bout the ocean moving in slow motion I see it glitter in the sun Then it's freezing in the moonlight Never look back, never look back, never look away If freedom comes and goes, you know I'll still be waiting All the things she said, she said You've fought the fight so long, no surrender to temptation Of all the things she said, she said Stars will fall out for you Luck will surrender I'm calling out to you Oh to be near you in the first morning light I'd be with you, I dream about you If I could leave here, I would leave here tonight I'd be with you, I'd stay with you tonight Tonight Anywhere you go, you know I'll still be waiting Of all the things she said, she said When I look into your eyes, I see a new day rising Oh all the things she said, she said Through the eyes of love, and to never know what hate is Of all the things she said, she said She said, this is our time, she said, this is our place This is the space my heart wants to be Little darling close your eyes, there'll be no compromising All the things she said, she said
