Indigo Girls Holy City Lyrics

Holy City Lyrics

"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
