Holy City - 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 there when I die

Repeat Chorus

I’ve seen visions, Lord I’ve seen visions

Hanging in the summer sky

I fell in love, lost my heart

Laughed until I cried
