Last night I dreamed I [C]
[G] was a child
Out [C] where the pines [Db] rotted [C] and tall
I was trying [Bb] to make it [G] home to the [F] fog
Before [C] the dawn of this [F] fall
[D] I heard the wind [G] rustling
[Bb] [F]
And those sweet voices rose from the [C] fields
I [D] ran with my heart [F] pounded [Gm] down [Cm] that road
[F]
With the death [C] [A]
in my [F] hands
I broke through [Fm] the trees [C] and [Fm] there in the night
[C] My father's house [F] stood [C] shining hard and bright
The [Fm] branches and brambles tore my toes and stretched my arm
[F] [C] But I ran [Gb] till I [Fm] fell, [C] shaking in [G] his arms

[C] I was filled with hope

And [F] I had a dream that the [C] things that tore us [F] apart
And never again pull us from each other's [C] arms
[F] I woke from a dream that you said [G] to me
[C] I did it right
From
[G] out [F] on the road
I could [C] see its windows shining [F] in light
I walked up the steps and
[Bb]
I stood [F] on the porch
Oh, my eyes didn't recognize
Can't have spoke to me through [C] the chain door
I [F] told her my story
[Bb]
And who [F] I'd come for
She said, I'm sorry, son
But no one by [C] that name lives here [F] anymore
My father's house [Bb] shines [F] hard and bright
It stands like a beacon
Calling me [C] in the night
Calling [F] and calling
[Bb]
So [C] cold [F] and alone
Shining across this dark highway
Where [C]
sin's lying
