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 scrapes 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



Don't let it bring you down

It's only castles burning

Just find someone who's turning

And you will come around
