My father\x27s house

歌曲歌詞

Last night I dreamed that I was a child out

Where the pines grow wild and tall

I was trying to make it home

Through the forest before the darkness falls

I heard the wind rustling through the trees

And ghostly voices rose from the fields

I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path

With the devil snapping at my heels

I broke through the trees and there in the night

My father's house stood shining hard

And bright the branches and brambles tore

My clothes and scratched my arms

But I ran till I fell shaking in his arms

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

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

I got dressed and to that house

I did ride from out on the road

I could see its windows shining in light

I walked up the steps and stood on the porch a woman

I didn't recognize came

And spoke to me through a chained door

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

She said I'm sorry son

But no one by that name lives here anymore

My father's house shines hard

And bright it stands like a beacon calling me in the night
