Don’t Let It Bring You Down

 
 

As for most of the songs I like, I first loved its sounds, and only later I got curious at the lyrics, and was astonished at the way the words matched so perfectly with the music and the wonderful voice of the singer, and with my mood about them.

 

A Tribute to Annie Lennox

Old man lyin’ by the side of the road

Where the lorries rollin’ by

Blue moon sinkin’ from the weight of

   the load

And the buildings scrape the sky

Cold wind rippin’ on the valley at dawn

And the morning paper flies

Dead man lyin’ by the side of the road

With the daylight in his eyes


Don’t let it bring you down

It’s only castle’s burning

Find someone who’s turning

And you will come around


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 sirence moan

White cane lyin’ in a gutter in the lane

And you’re walkin’ home alone


Don’t let it bring you down

It’s only castle’s burning

Find someone who’s turning

And you will come around


You will come around
