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