Don’t Let It Bring You Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Old man lyin' by the side of the road
With the lorries rollin' by
Blue moon sinkin' from the weight of the load
As the buildings scrape the sky
Cold wind rippin' down the alley at dawn
The mornin' papers fly
Dead man lyin' by the side of the road
With 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 flashin' through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White canе lyin' in a gutter in the lane
If you'rе walkin' home alone
[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

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
