Artist/Band: Edwin McCain
Lyrics for Song: Holy City
Lyrics for Album: Misguided Roses [1997]



Midnight in the Holy City

Playground for restless souls

Graveyards for the sons of Fort Sumpter

And the ghostly daughters

Wait for their boys to come home



Moonlight in the Holy City

So thick it warms the air

I burned my heart on a sweet southern flame

Like a hug from your mama saying it will be okay



Spilled my blood, in the Holy City

Seen the flood of a thousand rains

Ran away from the Holy City

Heard the spirits in the steeple singing

You'll be back again, you'll be back, brother



Sunrise in the Holy City

The kings and queens shuffle by

I'm born here of my own ashes

Just lay me down there when I die



Spilled 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

You'll be back again someday



I've seen visions, Lord I've seen visions

Hanging in the summer sky

Fell in love, lost my heart

Laughed until I cried



In the Holy City

In the Holy City

In the Holy City

I heard the spirits in the steeple

Singing you'll be back, you'll be back again someday

In the Holy City
