Edwin McCain - Holy City Lyrics
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 here 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 singing
You'll be back again

Edwin McCain Holy City Comments
This song makes me cry. So beautiful.
Sheer brilliance
I moved from Atlanta to New Jersey due to circumstances. After a year and a half I got divorced and realized there was nothing left for me in Jersey. I packed my shit and drove back down to Atlanta. I listened to this CD almost the entire way down. This song was on when I crossed into South Carolina. It was a truly a "welcome back home to the south" moment.
AthensDawgs hell yes!
This is one of my favorite Edwin McCain songs.
