VERSE:
D
Well, last night I dreamed that
G D
I was a child
D
Out where the pines grow
A
Wild and tall
D
I was trying to
G D
Make it home through the forest
D A D
Before the dar-ar-arkness falls
VERSE:
D
I heard the wind rustling
G D
Through the trees
D
And ghostly voices
A
Rose from the fields
D
I ran with my heart pounding
G D
Down that broken path
D A
With the dev-il-il
D
At my heels
VERSE:
D
I broke through the trees, and
G D
There in the night
D
My father's house stood
A
Shining hard and bright
D
The branches and brambles
G D
Tore my clothes and scratched my arms
D
I ran till I fell,
A D
Shaking in his arms
INSTRUMENTAL:
D G D
D A
D G D
D A D
VERSE:
D
I awoke and I imagined
G D
The hard things that pulled us apart
D
Would never again, sir,
A
Tear us from each other's hearts
D
I got dressed,
G D
And to that house I did ride
D
From out on the road,
A D
I could see its windows shining in light
VERSE:
D
I walked up the steps and
G D
I stood on the porch
D
A woman I didn't recognize
A
Came and spoke to me through a chained door
D
I told her my story,
G D
And who I'd come for
D
She said "I'm sorry, son,
A D
But no one by that name lives here anymore"
VERSE:
D
Now my father's house shines
G D
Hard and bright
D
It stands like a beacon
A
Calling me in the night
D
Calling and calling,
G D
So cold and alone
D
Shining `cross this dark highway
A
Where our sins
D
Lie unatoned
