Amy Speace - My Fathers House Lyrics

[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
