Heidelberg Blues - Malcolm Holcombe

Hide your bones among the castles

When the bombs fall once again

Go live among the ruins

Of the never changin' wind

The trains dont run on time i know

Like the bells upon the hills

They set your mind in motion

With the morning whipporwills

The streets came fast and winding

From town to town to here

I pray out loud too quickly

Then slowly disappear

No sins among the fathers

Can n’er be to be forgot

But no innocence is lost in

The wonder of the stars

Let me choose the high road

To listen to the words

Of ones who lived before me

And died in heidelburg

The shadows gently swallow

The night so incomplete

Without your hand to guide me

And hold me as i sleep

I’m not afraid to suffer

The scorn between your lips

The morning is the morning

And heidleberg is yours

I tried to do a demon’s work

And bare the cross of fate

My God in heav’n judge my curse

And my time in heidleberg

How many souls will never know

The springtime once again

How many empty hearts will cry

They were in heidleberg
