                          G        D

Last night I dreamed that I was a child

                                   A

Out where the pines grow wild and tall

        D       G                         D

I was trying to make it home through the forest

               A     D

Before the darkness falls



                         G             D

I heard the wind rustling through the trees

                                   A

And ghostly voices rose from the fields

              D               G               D

I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path

               A               D

With the devil snappin' at my heels

                                G            D

I broke through the trees, and there in the night

                                           A

My father's house stood shining hard and bright

           D              G                                 D

The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms

                        A              D

But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms 



            D                         A                       D

                                G                      D

I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart

                                                   A

Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts

         D                  G           D

I got dressed, and to that house I did ride

                                       A                  D

From out on the road, I could see its windows shining in light



                           G            D

I walked up the steps and stood on the porch

                                                                  A

A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door

                  D       G            D

I told her my story, and who I'd come for

                                              A                D

She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore"

                        G           D

My father's house shines hard and bright

                                            A

It stands like a beacon calling me in the night

             D       G            D

Calling and calling, so cold and alone

                                           A            D

Shining `cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned
