At night they would go walking ‘til the breaking of the day
The morning is for sleeping
Through the dark streets
They go searching to seek God in their own way
Save the night time for your weeping
Your weeping
Singing la la la la la la le
And the night over London rang
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts strain
For their curses to be broken
We’d go underneath the arches
Where the witches are in there saying
There are ghost towns in the ocean
The ocean
Singing la la la la la la le
And the night over London rang
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 la la la la la la le
And the night over London rang
Singing la la la la la la le
There's no light over London today
