BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - My City Of Ruins lyrics

rate me

There's a blood red circle<br>On the cold dark ground<br>And the rain is falling down<br>The church doors blown open<br>I can hear the organ's song<br>But the congregation's gone<br><br>My city of ruins<br>My city of ruins<br><br>Now the sweet veils of mercy<br>Drift through the evening trees<br>Young men on the corner<br>Like scattered leaves<br>The boarded up windows<br>The hustlers and thieves<br>While my brother's down on his knees<br><br>My city of ruins<br>My city of ruins<br><br>Come on rise up!<br>Come on rise up!<br><br>Now there's tears on the pillow<br>Darling where we slept<br>And you took my heart when you left<br>Without your sweet kiss<br>My soul is lost, my friend<br>Now tell me how do I begin again? <br><br>My city's in ruins<br>My city's in ruins<br><br>Now with these hands<br>I pray lord<br>With these hands<br>For the strength lord<br>With these hands<br>For the faith lord<br>With these hands<br>I pray lord<br>With these hands<br>For the strength lord<br>With these hands<br>For the faith lord<br>With these hands<br><br>Come on rise up!<br>Come on rise up!<br>Rise up
