Suwannee Springs Ruins at Dawn

[Verse 1] Sulfur rising off the water in the early morning gray, Suwannee Springs at dawn before the county starts its day. Stone walls built around the pool a hundred years ago, When rich folks came from everywhere to heal in the flow. [Chorus] Suwannee Springs ruins at dawn, where the old world meets the new, Sulfur water, broken walls, morning soaking through. Native people knew this place a thousand years before, Suwannee Springs ruins at dawn, still worth coming for. [Verse 2] Four resorts rose and fell beside this sacred ground, Eighteen thirties through the twenties, then the fire burned them down. Gadsden Spring they called it first, then Readsville took the name, Science said the healing wasn't real, but people came the same. [Chorus] Suwannee Springs ruins at dawn, where the old world meets the new, Sulfur water, broken walls, morning soaking through. Native people knew this place a thousand years before, Suwannee Springs ruins at dawn, still worth coming for. [Bridge] (whispered, almost prayer-like) County park now, kids and families on a Sunday afternoon, But come here alone at dawn and hear the old resort's tune. The spring still pushes up the same water from the deep, Suwannee Springs remembers every promise it must keep. [Outro - harmonica fade] Suwannee Springs at dawn... (still worth coming for)... Where the old world meets the new...
