[length: 05:35]
[00:19.03]Last night, I dreamt that I was a child
[00:28.67]Out where the pines grow wild and tall
[00:38.16]Was tryin’ to make it home through the forest
[00:47.86]Before the darkness falls
[00:57.31]I heard the wind rustlin’ through the trees
[01:07.24]And ghostly voices rose from the fields
[01:16.72]I ran with my heart poundin’ down that broken path
[01:26.37]With the devil snappin’ at my heels
[01:36.21]I broke through the trees, and there in the night
[01:45.85]My father’s house stood there shinin’ hard and bright
[01:55.58]The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
[02:05.43]But I ran ’til I fell shakin’ in my father’s arms
[02:13.28]
[02:54.59]I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
[03:04.35]Will never again, sir, tear us from each other’s arms
[03:14.66]I got dressed and to that house I did ride
[03:24.01]From out on the road I could see its winding shining lights
[03:36.48]I walked up the stairs and I stood on the porch
[03:45.87]A woman I didn’t recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
[03:55.59]I told her my story and for who I’d come for
[04:05.01]She said, “I’m sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore”
[04:14.80]My father’s house shines hard and bright
[04:24.43]It stands like a beacon, calling me in the night
[04:34.49]Calling and calling, so cold and alone
[04:44.56]Shining ‘cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned
