Midnight in the Holy City
Playground for restless souls
Graveyards for the sons of Fort Sumter
And the ghostly daughters
Wait for their boys to come home
Moonlight in the Holy City
So thick, it warms the air, yeah
I burned my heart on a sweet southern flame
Like a hug from your mama, sayin', "It will be okay"
Spilt 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 singin'
"You'll be back again
You'll be back, brother"
Sunrise in the Holy City
The kings and queens shuffle by
Oh, I'm born here of my own ashes
Just lay me down there when I die
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 singin'
"You'll be back again
You'll be back again someday, yeah"
Oh, I've seen visions
Lord, I've seen visions
Hangin' in the summer sky
I 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 singin', "You'll be back" (in the Holy City)
You'll be back again someday, yeah, yeah (in the Holy City)
(In the Holy City)
I heard the spirits singin', "You'll be back" (in the Holy City)
Yes, you will (in the Holy City), in the Ho- (in the Holy City)
Yes, you will (in the Holy City)
You'll be back again someday, yeah (in the Holy City)
You'll be back, you'll be back
You'll be back, you'll be back (in the Holy City)
You'll be back, You'll be back again someday (in the Holy City)
In the Holy City (holy)
In the Holy City (city, city)
In the Holy City (holy city)
In the Holy City
Spirits in the steeple singin' (in the Holy City)
"You'll be back now, back again" (in the Holy City)
You'll be back (in the Holy City) city (in the Holy City)
You'll be back again someday (in the Holy City)
You'll be back (in the Holy City), city
In the Holy City (city, uh-huh)
In the Holy City (city, city)
In the Holy City
