At night they would go walking till the break in the day
D#5 D#5/C# D#5
The morning is for sleeping
D#5 D#5/C# D#5
Through the dark streets they go searching to see God in their own way
D#5 D#5/C# D#5
Save the nighttime for you weeping
D#5
Your weeping
[Chorus]

And the night over London hey
[Verse 2]
D#m F# A#m D#m
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts spring
D#m F# A#m
For their curses to be broken
D#m F# A#m D#m
We'll go underneath the arches where the witches are in the sea
D#m F# A#m
There are ghost towns in the ocean
D#m
The ocean
[Chorus]
F# C# D#m
Singing la la la la la la lay
F# A#m D#m
And the night over London hey

[Verse 3]
D#m F# A#m D#m
God in the houses, and god is in my head
D#m F# A#m
And all the cemeteries in London
D#m F# A#m D#m
I see god come in my garden, but I don't know what he'd say
D#m F# A#m
For my heart it wasn't open
D#m
Not open
[Chorus]
F# C# D#m
Singing la la la la la la lay
F# A#m D#m
And the night over London hey
F# C# D#m
Singing la la la la la la lay
F# A#m D#m
There's no light over London today
