Oh sweet Petulia, there's a fire in the night
And I was wondering if it's yours
Or if it's made by someone else, that you know
You got your cause and I got mine, that's underlined
By all those stupid things you do
And all those lines that I bring down to paper
♪
Call me, call me, call me, call me far away
I can see the light from over here
Call me, call me, call me, call me far away
I can see the light shine off your face
But I can't see no forest fire, I
No, I can't see no forest fire, I
Call me, call me, call me, call me far away
I can see the light from over here
Call me, call me, call me, call me far away
I can see the light shine off your face
But I can't see no forest fire, I
No, I can't see no forest fire, I
Oh sweet Petulia, there's still ashes on the floor
And I'm just wondering if they're yours
Or if they're left by someone else that you know
You got your loss and I got mine, I guess for sure
'Cause there's a bottom line for you
That marks a point of no return for me, so
Call me, call me, call me, call me far away
I can see the light from over here
Call me, call me, call me, call me far away
I can see the light shine off your face
But I can't see no forest fire, I
No, I can't see no forest fire, I

Oh sweet Petulia, there's a fire in the night
And I don't know why it's there
Came to terms now, it's alright
