Matraca Berg - The Resurrection Lyrics
(matraca berg/alice randall)I walked the streets of this little townLate last night when it all shut downFeeling stuck between lost and found and nowhereUsing my memory for a mapI went looking for trains on the torn up tracksWith a weary conductor, he just turned his back but hes still thereWaiting for the resurrectionFire from the ashes and the tearsThe resurrectionYou know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around hereWell, its hard to believe Im back againLooking up old lovers and long lost friendsJust to reminisce like the veterans and survivorsI heard reverend bill with the kind old faceSay he got alittle stale and hes been replaceStill we all bowed our heads when he said grace at the dinerWaiting for the resurrectionFire from the ashes and the tearsThe resurrectionYou know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around hereWell, the engine dies and the main line failsBut surely the heart and the soul prevailsLike the wildflowers grow between the rails in the summerOh, the resurrectionFire from the ashes and the tearsThe resurrectionYou know dreams die hardDreams die hard, dreams die hard around hereOh, around hereDreams die hard around here
