my father's house - amy speace lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
last night i dreamed that i was a child
out where the pines grow wild and tall
i was tryin’ to make it home through the forest
before the darkness falls

[verse 2]
i heard the wind rustlin’ through the fields
and ghostly voices rose from the fields
i ran with my heart poundin’ down that broken path
with the devil snappin’ at my heels

[verse 3]
i broke through the trees and there in the night
my father’s house stood shinin’ hard and bright
the branches and brambles tore my clothes and scratched my arm
but i ran ’til i fell shaking in his arm

[verse 4]
i awoke and imagined thе hard things that pulled us apart
will never again, sir, tеar 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 shinin’ in light

[verse 5]
i walked up the steps and i 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”
[instrumental break]

[verse 6]
my father’s house shines hard and bright
it stands like a beacon callin’ me into the night
callin’ and callin’ so cold and alone
shining ‘cross this dark highway where our sins lie unatoned
