Music by 10,000 Maniacs - Lyrics by Mary Ramsey & John Lombardo
|
|
This was once a city
|
harmony a common theme
|
but these complications
|
now make life a bit uneasy
|
hallowed buildings scrape the sky
|
voices ride the airwaves
|
once a city years gone by
|
will they still be standing in thecenturies ahead
|
going underground little children hiding,
|
bullets never meant for them
|
must there be such bloodshed in our hearts, our homes, ourheads?
|
will I be walking, walking so free?
|
this was a city once
|
this was once a city
|
harmony a common theme but these complications
|
once a city, once a dream.
|
