Cemeteries Of London

Coldplay · Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends [2008]

At night they would go walking

Til the breaking of the day

The morning's for sleeping

Through the dark streets

They'd go searching

To see God in their own way

Save the nightime for your weeping



Your weeping,



Singing

la la lala la la ehh

And the night over London, lay



So we rode down to the river

Where Victorian ghosts pray

For the curse is to be broken

We'll go underneath the arches

Where the witches aren't the same

There are ghost towns in the ocean



The ocean..



Singing

la la lala la la ehh

And the night over London, lay



God is in the houses

And God is in my head

And all the Cemeteries of 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 lala la la ehh

And the night over London, lay



Singing

la la lala la la ehh

There's no light over London today
