Midnight in the Holy City
playground for restless souls
Graveyards for the sons of Fort Sumter*
And the ghostly daughters
Wait for their boys to come home
Moonlight in the Holy City
So thick it warms the air
Burned my heart on a sweet southern flame
Like a hug from your mama saying it will be OK
Spilt my blood, in the Holy City
Seen the flood of a thousand rains
I ran away from the Holy City
Heard the spirits in the steeple singing
you`ll be back again
Sunrise in the Holy City
The kings and queens shuffle by
I`m born here of my own ashes
Just lay me down here when I die
Spilt my blood, in the Holy City
Seen the flood of a thousand rains
I ran away from the Holy City
Heard the spirits in the steeple singing
you`ll be back again
I`ve seen visions
Lord I`ve seen visions
Hanging in the summer sky
I fell in love, lost my heart
Laughed until I cried
