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 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

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 Calling and
calling, so cold and alone
