Lyrics
At night they would go walking ?til the breaking of the day,
Walking at night until dawn.
The morning is for sleeping?
Morning is a time for rest and sleep.
Through the dark streets they go searching to seek God in their own way,
Searching in the dark streets to find God in their own way.
Save the nighttime for your weeping?
Save nighttime for sorrow and tears.
Your weeping?
Reiteration of saving nighttime for weeping.
Singing la la la la la la le?
Singing a repetitive melody.
And the night over London rang.
The night over London is vibrant and alive.
So we rode down to the river where the toiling ghosts strain
Heading to the river where troubled spirits seek liberation.
For their curses to be broken?
Ghostly entities longing for curses to be lifted.
We?d go underneath the arches where the witches are in there saying
Passing under arches where witches may be speaking of ghost towns in the ocean.
There are ghost towns in the ocean?
Emphasizing the existence of deserted places underwater.
The ocean?
Reiteration of the concept of ghostly towns in the ocean.
Singing la la la la la la le?
Continuation of the repetitive singing, creating a mystical atmosphere.
And the night over London rang.
The night over London resounds with the repetitive melody.
God is in the houses and God is in my head? and all the cemeteries in London?
God is present in homes and thoughts, and in all the cemeteries in London.
I see God come in my garden, but I don?t know what he said,
Perceiving God in the garden, but not understanding the message, possibly due to a closed heart.
For my heart, it wasn't open?
Confirming that the heart was not open to comprehend God's message.
Not open?
Reiteration of the heart being closed or unreceptive.
Singing la la la la la la le?
Continuation of the mysterious and repetitive singing.
And the night over London rang.
The night over London reverberates with the ongoing melody.
Singing la la la la la la le?
Repetition of the mysterious melody.
There's no light over London today.
Highlighting the absence of light over London on this day.
