10000 Maniacs - Once A City Lyrics
Music by 10,000 maniacs - lyrics by mary ramsey & john lombardoThis was once a cityHarmony a common themeBut these complicationsNow make life a bit uneasyHallowed buildings scrape the skyVoices ride the airwavesOnce a city years gone byWill they still be standing in thecenturies aheadGoing underground little children hiding,Bullets never meant for themMust there be such bloodshed in our hearts, our homes, ourheads?Will I be walking, walking so free?This was a city onceThis was once a cityHarmony a common theme but these complicationsOnce a city, once a dream.
