The Resurrection Lyrics - Matraca Berg

I walked the streets of this little town 

Late last night when it all shut down 

Feeling stuck between lost and found and nowhere 

Using my memory for a map 

I went looking for trains on the torn up tracks 

With a weary conductor, he just turned his back but he's still there 

Waiting for the resurrection 

Fire from the ashes and the tears 

The resurrection 

You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here 

Well, it's hard to believe I'm back again 

Looking up old lovers and long lost friends 

Just to reminisce like the veterans and survivors 

I heard Reverend Bill with the kind old face 

Say he got alittle stale and he's been replace 

Still we all bowed our heads when he said grace at the diner 

Waiting for the resurrection 

Fire from the ashes and the tears 

The resurrection 

You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here 

Well, the engine dies and the main line fails 

But surely the heart and the soul prevails 

Like the wildflowers grow between the rails in the summer 

Oh, the resurrection 

Fire from the ashes and the tears 

The resurrection 

You know dreams die hard 

Dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here 

Oh, around here 

Dreams die hard around here
