Cover art for My City Of Ruins lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

kenf62, I've heard the same thing, but surely he changed it a bit since then? I mean, some of the imagery here seems top specific and apocalyptic for a song about a decaying N.J. city.

Great song, very moving. Love the gospel feel. I'm guessing that lots of people found this song very moving when it was released
