David Crosby - In The Wide Ruin Lyrics
by Craig Doerge, Judy HenskeThere was a cityIn this desertShining with fountainsAnd pools of clearsweet water.So many cloudsof white birds soaringIt might have beenthe sea...and therewas music.Deep in the wild heartNothing ever changesDeep in the wild heartNothing remains.A place of stoneA tower of glassWhere bells of hammered brassrang for hours.Deep in the wild heartNothing ever changesDeep in the wild heartNothing remains.Over the horizonInto the majesty.As far as I can seeThere is nothing of humanity.In all your windy spaceThere is no trace of us.I want to seeA human heart,Show it to me...Show it to me...Deep in the wild heartNothing ever changesDeep in the wild heartNothing remains.Sleep, wild heartIn the wide ruin.(c) 1988 Fair Star Music Inc./The Real Mousetower Music Co.
