don't let it bring you down

old man lying

by the side of the road

with the lorries rolling by

blue moon sinking

from the weight of the load

and the building scrape the sky

cold wind ripping

down the allay at dawn

and the morning paper flies

dead man lying

by the side of the road

with the daylight in his eyes. don't let it bring you down

it's only castles burning

find someone who's turning

and you will come around. blind man running

through the light

of the night

with an answer in his hand

come on down

to the river of sight

and you can really understand

red lights flashing

through the window

in the rain

can you hear the sirens moan?

white cane lying

in a gutter in the lane

if you're walking home alone. don't let it bring you down

it's only castles burning

just find someone who's turning

and you will come around. don't let it bring you down

it's only castles burning

just find someone who's turning

and you will come around.
