Holy City Lyrics - Misguided Roses - Edwin Mccain

Midnight in the Holy City 

Playground for restless souls 

Graveyards for the sons of Ft. Sumpter 

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
