At night they would go walkin' 'till the breakin' of the day
The morning 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'
Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
And the night over London lay
So we rode down to the river, where Victorian ghosts pray
For their curses to be broken
We go wandering 'neath the arches, where the witches are and they say
There are ghost towns in the ocean
The ocean
Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-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
Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
And the night over London lay
Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
There's no light over London today
The morning 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'
Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
And the night over London lay
So we rode down to the river, where Victorian ghosts pray
For their curses to be broken
We go wandering 'neath the arches, where the witches are and they say
There are ghost towns in the ocean
The ocean
Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-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
Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
And the night over London lay
Singin' la-la-la-la-la-la-lay
There's no light over London today
