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
