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.
