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

Cold wind rippling down the alley at dawn

And the morning paper fly

Dead man lying at the side of the road

And 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 light flashin' throught he window in the rain

Can you hear the sirens moan?

White cane lying in the gutter in the lane

And your'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
