Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 buildings scrape the sky
[Verse 2]
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes
[Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around
[Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around
[Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around
