Takin' down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansings coming
Youre turning down the lights
In this cruel light symbols mean nothing
Youre 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 theyve 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, wont be paid for years
Hoping you wont stare down that long window to love
That long window to love
Theyd burgle all your sanity
If it would let them hold you under
Theyd knock on your door so hard
The frame would crack under the strain
It's just the same, just the same
Its just the same, just the same
Takin' down the signs
Now the time has come and the cleansings coming
Youre 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
