Takin´ down the signs Now the time has come and the cleansingâs coming Youâre turning down the lights In this cruel light symbols mean nothing Youâre takin´ down the signs
Turning ´round your eyes from dreams that seem so bright Flying hope like kites, holding loved ones tight And turning to the light of that long window to love That long window to love Forget about the years Of the planting and the dying and the growing Forget about your cares But you remember that theyâve been forgotten By the people sent to London Takin´ down your cares Drinkin´ off your tears, gambling on your fears For things that cost so dear, wonât be paid for years Hoping you wonât stare down that long window to love That long window to love
Theyâd burgle all your sanity If it would let them hold you under Theyâd knock on your door so hard The frame would crack under the strain It´s just the same, just the same Itâs just the same, just the same Takin´ down the signs Now the time has come and the cleansingâs coming Youâre turning down the lights In this cruel light symbols mean nothing Takin´ down the signs Turning ´round your eyes from dreams that seem so bright Flying hope like kites, holding loved ones tight And turning to the light of that long window to love That long window to love That long window to love
