Don't Let It Get You Down/Neil Young

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 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

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 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

don't let it bring you down
it's only castles burning,
find someone who's turning
and you will come around

don't let it bring you down
it's only castles burning,
just find someone who's turning
and you will come around

don't let it bring you down
it's only castles burning,
just find someone who's turning
and you will come around
