Cemeteries of London
====================
Capo 1
At night they
would go walki
ng till the br
/
eak in the day
The morning is
for sleeping
Through the da
rk streets the
y go searching
to see God in
their own way
Save the night
time for you w
eeping
Your weeping
Singing la la
la la la la la
y
And the night
over London he
y
So we rode dow
n to the river
where the toi
ling ghosts sp
ring
For their curs
es to be broke
n
We'll go under
neath the arch
es where the w
itches are in
the sea
There are ghos
t towns in the
ocean
The ocean
Singing la la
la la la la la
y
And the night
over London he
y
[Solo]
God in the hou
ses, and god i
s in my head
And all the ce
meteries in Lo
ndon
I see god come
in my garden,
but I don't k
now what he'd
say
For my heart i
t wasn't open
Not open
Singing la la
la la la la la
y
And the night
over London he
y
Singing la la
la la la la la
y
There's no lig
ht over London
today
Lost!

Was a long and

When the banks became cathedrals
And the frost
became gone
Creased cut st

Are all out to fade their rifles
And the cross
was held aloft

There in me an

With snow

I took my love

There we sat

All that time

So, if you lov
