(Bruce Springsteen)
2
Last night I dreamed that I was a child
3
Out where the pines grow wild and tall
4
I was trying to make it home through the forest
5
Before the darkness falls
6
I heard the wind rustling through the trees
7
And ghostly voices rose from the fields
8
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
9
With the devil snappin' at my heels
10
I broke through the trees, and there in the night
11
My father's house stood shining hard and bright
12
The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
13
But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms
14
I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
15
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
16
I got dressed, and to that house I did ride
17
From out on the road, I could see it's windows shining in light
18
I walked up the steps and stood on the porch
19
A woman I didn't recognize came and spoke to me through a chained door
20
I told her my story, and who I'd come for
21
She said "I'm sorry, son, but no one by that name lives here anymore"
22
My father's house shines hard and bright
23
It stands like a beacon calling me in the night
24
Calling and calling, so cold and alone
25
Shining 'cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned
