Now the sweet veils of mercy drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner like scattered leaves
The boarded up windows, the empty streets
While my brother's down on his knees

My city of ruins
My city of ruins

Now there's tears on the pillow darling where we slept
And you took my heart when you leftG
Without your sweet kiss my soul is lost, my friend

My city's in ruins
My city's in ruins
