David Crosby - 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 gla** Where bells of hammered bra** rang for hours. Deep in the wild heart Nothing ever changes Deep in the wild heart Nothing remains. 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. (c) 1988 Fair Star Music Inc./The Real Mousetower Music Co.
