Soundtracks - City Of Gold - The Dixie Hummingbirds lyrics

There is a city of gold Far from the rat-race that eats at your soul Far from the madness and the bars that hold There is a city of gold. There is a city of light Raised up in heaven, and the streets are bright Glory to God, not by deeds or by might There is a city of light. There is a city of love Surrounded by stars and the power above Far from this world and the stuff dreams are made of There is a city, city of love. There is a city of grace You drink holy water in a sanctified's place one's afraid to show their face There is a city, a city of grace [interlude] There is a city of peace Where all [foul form of] destruction will cease When the mighty have fallen and there's no police There is a city, a city of peace There is a city of hope Across the ravines by the green sunlit slope All I need is an axe and a rope To get to the city of hope. [interlude] I'm headed for the city of gold Before it's too late, before it gets too cold Before I'm too tired, before I'm too old I'm headed for the city of gold There is a city of gold (ad lib)
