[E] [D] Last night I dreamed that I was a child
Out where the pines grow wild [A] and tall
[D] I was trying to make it home through the forest
Before [A] darkness [D] falls
I awoke and I imagined all [G] those things
That had pulled us [D] apart
[D] Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's [Am] hearts
I got dressed and [G] to that house I did ride
[D] From out on the road I could see [A] those windows shining [D] in light
[D] My father's house shines hard and bright
Shines like a beacon calling me in [A] the night
[D] Calling and calling, so cold and alone
Shining across the dark highway
[A] Where our sins, they [D] lie unatoned
