"Don't Let It Bring You Down" lyrics
"Don't Let It Bring You Down"
Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the buildings scrape the sky
Cold wind ripping down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around
Blind man running 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 flashing through the window in the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying in a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home alone
[Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

Neil Young says about this track on "4 Way Street" album by "Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young", "Here is a new song. It's guaranteed to bring you right down. It's called 'Don't Let It Bring You Down'. It sorta starts off real slow and then fizzles out altogether."
This song was covered by the band "Last Exit", which
Sting was a member of before
The Police, on their 1974 "Impulse Studio Demos".
Annie Lennox's version of "Don't Let It Bring You Down" was featured in the film "American Beauty" (1999) but wasn't included on the film's soundtrack album. It appeared on her album "Medusa" (1995).
