The Resurrection Lyrics & Chords By The 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 a 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, 'round here
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
