At night they would go walking ‘till the breaking of the day,
the morning is for sleeping…
Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way,
save the nighttime for your weeping…
Your weeping…
Singing "lala lalalalala lay"…
And the night over London lay…
So we rode down to the river where the Victorian ghosts pray
for their curses to be broken…
We’d go underneath the arches where the witches are and they say:
There are ghost towns in the ocean…
The ocean…
Singing "lala lalalalala lay"…
And the night over London lay…
God is in the houses and God is in my head
and all the cemeteries in London…
I see God come in my garden but I don’t know what he said,
For my heart it wasn’t open….
Not open…
Singing "lala lalalalala lay"…
And the night over London lay…
Singing "lala lalalalala lay"…
There’s no light over London today...
