Holy City
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
We recommend: The End Of Something

And hope's never going teach me

Climb aboard I'm going nowhere
And understand if I must say
I'd give both these wings away
I'd steal a car to drive you home
I don't look back on an empty feeling
Repaint the blues, my saving grace
Is lost without a trace
The morning sun's a fire in space
She lives in your life everyday
Stretching time to stay
Got my
