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 homeMoonlight 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 saying it will be okaySpilt 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 singing
You'll be back again, You'll be back brotherSunrise in the Holy City
The kings and queens shuffle by
Lord, I'm born here of my own ashes
Just lay me down there when I dieSpilt 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, You'll be back again someday, yeahI've seen visions Lord I've seen visions
Hanging in the summer sky
I fell in love, lost my heart, laughed until I criedIn the Holy City
In the Holy City
In the Holy CityI heard the spirits in the steeple singing, You'll be back"
You'll be back again someday, yeah, yeah
I heard the spirits singing, You'll be back"
Yes You'llYes You will, You'll be back again someday, yeah
You'll be back, You'll be back, You'll be back
You'll be back, You'll be back again somedayIn the Holy City
In the Holy City
In the Holy City
In the Holy CitySpirits in the steeple singing
You'll be back back again
You'll be back again someday
You'll be back back againIn the Holy City
