At night, they would go walkin
~#**************#~
Till the breakin of the day
~#**************#~
The mornin is for sleepin
~#**************#~
Through the dark streets, they go searchin
~#**************#~
To see God in their own way
~#**************#~
Save the night-time for your weepin
~#**************#~
Your weepin
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Singin la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
~#**************#~
And the night over London lay
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
So we rode down to the river
~#**************#~
Where Victorian ghosts pray
~#**************#~
For their curses to be broken
~#**************#~
We go wander ‘neath the arches
~#**************#~
Where the witches are, and they say
~#**************#~
“There are ghost towns in the ocean”
~#**************#~
The ocean
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Singin la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
~#**************#~
And the night over London lay
~#**************#~
[Guitar Solo]
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
God is in the houses
~#**************#~
And God is in my head
~#**************#~
And all the cemeteries of London
~#**************#~
I see God come in my garden
~#**************#~
But I dont know what he said
~#**************#~
For my heart, it wasnt open
~#**************#~
Not open
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Singin la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
~#**************#~
And the night over London lay
~#**************#~
Singin la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
~#**************#~
Theres no light over London today
