[Verse 1]
Old man sittin' by the side of the road with the lorries rollin' by
Blue 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 lyin' 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 2]
Blind man runnin' 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 lyin' 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

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

[Outro]
I just realized something
You people clap at the beginning of these piano songs, and I know for a fact that—
'Cause I don't pl— I mean, I don't play that good
I know all the introductions are all exactly the same
I just wanna get that straight, just so you know I know, you know?
