Ruins (SMMD, Nathan Moore)

Post: # 8128Post Cleantone »

Ruins

I sing for people and places, all outer spaces
I've traveled to castles with kings
I've sipped wine from the vine
in courtyards with pools fed by springs
now I'm standing in the ruins

with music they played on a hundred guitars
still twirling like dancers in stars
I sing, bring me back everything
I sing, for...

I know the colors of life as it's fullest
brilliant when given a chance
I filled the space between Heaven and Earth
with beauty I danced
now I'm sitting in the ruins

I was around when bars, filled with clouds
swelled at the sight of the band
when death was for the dying, life was for the living
and we waltzed to the dawn hand in hand
now I'm lying in the ruins

Ruins setlists [SlipBase]

Post: # 9031Post Phrazz »

If you know, is this called "Ruins" or "Standing in the Ruins"?

I found these on SlipBase. I'll fix w/ the official title when known.

Anyone ever find a setlist (or copy) of Mobius (Ashland, OR)? I've looked everywhere for that sneaky little piece of paper. I think my donkey ate it.

I am pretty sure I got that from the songbook. It could be either or noth but in the book I think it is "Ruins". At least that is my memory. I can't put my hands on it now. Check the Nathan Moore "official" site:
