In The Wide Ruin Lyrics - Oh Yes I Can - David Crosby

by Craig Doerge, Judy Henske 

There was a city 

In this desert 

Shining with fountains 

And pools of clear 

sweet water. 

So many clouds 

of white birds soaring 

It might have been 

the sea...and there 

was music. 

Deep in the wild heart 

Nothing ever changes 

Deep in the wild heart 

Nothing remains.

A place of stone 

A tower of glass 

Where bells of hammered brass 

rang for hours. 

Deep in the wild heart 

Nothing ever changes 

Deep in the wild heart 

Nothing remains. 

Over the horizon 

Into the majesty. 

As far as I can see 

There is nothing of humanity. 

In all your windy space 

There is no trace of us. 

I want to see 

A human heart, 

Show it to me... 

Show it to me...

Deep in the wild heart 

Nothing ever changes 

Deep in the wild heart 

Nothing remains. 

Sleep, wild heart 

In the wide ruin.
