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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]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.
