Holy City Lyrics - Singles - Mccain Edwin

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 

Chorus: 

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
