C# F# C#
Last night I dreamed that I was a child
C# Ab
Out Where the pines grow wild and tall
C# F# C#
I was trying to make it home through the forest
Ab C#
Before the darkness falls
C# F# C#
I heard the wind rustling through the trees
C# Ab
And ghostly voices rose from the fields
C# F# C#
I ran with my heart pounding down that broken path
C# Ab C#
With the devil snappin' at my heels
F# C#
I broke through the trees, and there in the night
C# Ab
My father's house stood shining hard and bright
C# F# C#
The branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arms
Ab C#
But I ran till I fell, shaking in his arms
SOLO
C# F# C#
I awoke and I imagined the hard things that pulled us apart
Ab
Will never again, sir, tear us from each other's hearts
C# F# C#
I got dressed, and to that house I did ride from out on the road,
Ab C#
I could see his windows shining in light
C# F# C#
I walked up the steps and stood on the porch
C#
A woman I didn't recognize
Ab
Came and spoke to me through a chained door
C# F# C#
I told her my story, and who I'd come for
Ab C#
She said "I'm sorry but but no one by that name lives here anymore
SOLO
C# F# C#
My father's house shines hard and bright
C# Ab
it stands like a beacon calling me in the night
C# F# C#
Calling and calling, so cold and alone
Ab C#
Shining `cross this dark highway where all our sins lie unatoned
From Emmylou Harris "Thirteen"
Warner Brothers Records 1986
