Old man lying by the side of the road As the lorries pass me by Full moon sinkin' from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky Cold wind rippin' 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 Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burnin' Find someone who's turnin' And you will come around
Blind man walkin' by the river at night With an answer in his hand Come on down to the river of sight Where you can really understand Red lights flashing through the window in the rain Can you hear the sirens moan? White cane lying in the gutter in the lane If you're walking home alone Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burnin' Find someone who's turnin' And you will come around
Old man lying by the side of the road As the lorries pass me by Full moon sinkin' from the weight of the load And the buildings scrape the sky Cold wind rippin' 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 Don't let it bring you down It's only castles burnin' Find someone who's turnin' And you will come around You will come around You will come around You will come around...
