My Father's House (2007 Remastered LP Version) - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)
Last night I dreamed that I was a child
Out where the pines grow wild and tall
I was trying to make
It home through the forest
Before the darkness falls
I heard the wind rustling through the trees
And ghostly voices rose from the fields
I ran with my heart pounding
Down that broken path
With the devil snappin at my heels
I broke through the trees
And there in the night
My fathers house stood
Shining hard and bright
The branches and brambles tore
My clothes and scratched my arms
But I ran till I fell shaking in his arms
I awoke and I imagined
The hard things that pulled us apart
They will never again sir
Tear us from each others hearts
I got dressed and to that house I did ride
From out on the road
I could see its windows shining in light
I walked up the steps and 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
But no one by that name lives here anymore
My fathers house shines hard and bright
It stands like a beacon calling me in the night
Calling and calling
So cold and alone
Shining cross this dark highway
Where our sins lie unatoned
