My Fathers House

Intro: VERSES 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 snappin at my heels I broke through the trees and there in he night My fathers 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 HARMONICA = VERSES I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart Will never again sir tear us from each others 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 didnt recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door I told her my story and who Id come for She said "Im sorry son but no one by that name lives here anymore" HARMONICA = VERSE VERSE My fathers house shines hard and bright It stands like a beacon calling me in the night Calling and calling so cold and alone Shining cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned
