Holy City" is an Amy Ray song that dates back at least as far as

"Blue Food." It has been performed fairly often, as late as the

beginning of 1990 - probably even more recently. It occasionally

features the flute accompaniment of Anne Richardson, to great effect.





Holy City.



I want to live in a holy city

I want to drink from a holy vine

I want to be where the people are pretty

Just because they feel it deep down inside



Chorus:

I don't want to wait for heaven

I can find what I need right here on earth this time

Too many people hold the way for heaven

If you can't feel it here, you won't feel it there anyway.



I want to live in a stained glass window

I want to change light to day

I want to have the sun shining through me

Causing my existence in every way



Chorus



I want to live in a heart of love

I want to swim in a mind of peace

I want to be your emotional outlet

I want to be love's sweet release



I'm gonna build me a holy city

I'm gonna drink from a holy, holy vine

I'm gonna be where the people are pretty

Because they feel it deep down inside



Chorus
