The Resurrection - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

I walked the streets of this little town

Late last night when it all shut down

Feelin' stuck between lost and found and nowhere

Using my memory for a map

I went lookin' for a train on the torn up track

Where the weary conductor just turned his back but he’s still there

Waitin for the resurrection

Fire from the ashes and the tears

The resurrection

You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here

Well it’s hard to believe I’m back again

Lookin' up old lovers and long lost friends

Just to reminisce like the veterans and survivors

I heard Reverend Bill with the kind old face

Said he got little stale and he’s been replaced

Still we all bowed our heads when he said Grace at the diner

Waitin for the resurrection

Fire from the ashes and the tears

The resurrection

You know dreams die hard, dreams die hard around here

Well the engine dies and the main line fails

Surely the heart and the soul prevails

Like the wild flowers grow between the rails in the summer

Oh, the resurrection

Fire from the ashes and the tears

The resurrection

You know dreams die hard

Dreams die hard

Dreams die hard around here

Oh, the resurrection

Oh, the resurrection

I walked the streets of this little town

Late last night when it all shut down

When it all shut down
