Last night I dreamed that I was a child
C# G#Out Where the pines grow wild and tall
C# F# C#I was trying to make it home through the forest
Before the darkness falls
C# F# C#I heard the wind rustling through the trees
C# G#And ghostly voices rose from the fields
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
C# G# C#With the devil snappin' at my heels
F# C#I broke through the trees, and there in the night
My father's house stood shining hard and bright
C# F# C#The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
G# C#But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms
SOLO
I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
G#Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
C# F# C#I got dressed, and to that house I did ride from out on the road,
I could see his windows shining in light
C# F# C#I walked up the steps and stood on the porch
C#A woman I didn't recognize
Came and spoke to me through a chained door
C# F# C#I told her my story, and who I'd come for
G# C#She said "I'm sorry but but no one by that name lives here anymore
SOLO
My father's house shines hard and bright
C# G#it stands like a beacon calling me in the night
C# F# C#Calling and calling, so cold and alone
Shining `cross this dark highway where all our sins lie unatoned
