In the Wide Ruin Lyrics

by Craig Doerge, Judy Henske

There was a city

In this desert

Shining with fountains

And pools of clear

sweet water.

So many clouds

of white birds soaring

It might have been

the sea...and there

was music.

Deep in the wild heart

Nothing ever changes

Deep in the wild heart

Nothing remains.

A place of stone

A tower of glass

Where bells of hammered brass

rang for hours.

Deep in the wild heart

Nothing ever changes

Deep in the wild heart

Nothing remains.
David Crosby - In the Wide Ruin - http://motolyrics.com/david-crosby/in-the-wide-ruin-lyrics.html
Over the horizon

Into the majesty.

As far as I can see

There is nothing of humanity.

In all your windy space

There is no trace of us.

I want to see

A human heart,

Show it to me...

Show it to me...

Deep in the wild heart

Nothing ever changes

Deep in the wild heart

Nothing remains.

Sleep, wild heart

In the wide ruin.
