《My Father’s House》歌词

[00:00:00] My Father's House (我父亲的房子) - Emmylou Harris (爱美萝·哈里斯)

[00:00:09] Last night I dreamed that I was a child

[00:00:19] Out where the pines grow wild and tall

[00:00:29] I was trying to make

[00:00:34] It home through the forest

[00:00:39] Before the darkness falls

[00:00:49] I heard the wind rustling through the trees

[00:00:59] And ghostly voices rose from the fields

[00:01:08] I ran with my heart pounding

[00:01:13] Down that broken path

[00:01:20] With the devil snappin at my heels

[00:01:29] I broke through the trees

[00:01:32] And there in the night

[00:01:39] My fathers house stood

[00:01:43] Shining hard and bright

[00:01:49] The branches and brambles tore

[00:01:52] My clothes and scratched my arms

[00:01:59] But I ran till I fell shaking in his arms

[00:02:19] I awoke and I imagined

[00:02:23] The hard things that pulled us apart

[00:02:29] They will never again sir

[00:02:33] Tear us from each others hearts

[00:02:40] I got dressed and to that house I did ride

[00:02:49] From out on the road

[00:02:52] I could see its windows shining in light

[00:02:59] I walked up the steps and stood on the porch

[00:03:09] A woman I didn't recognize came

[00:03:13] And spoke to me through a chained door

[00:03:19] I told her my story and who I'd come for

[00:03:29] She said I'm sorry

[00:03:31] But no one by that name lives here anymore

[00:04:01] My fathers house shines hard and bright

[00:04:10] It stands like a beacon calling me in the night

[00:04:20] Calling and calling

[00:04:25] So cold and alone

[00:04:30] Shining cross this dark highway

[00:04:33] Where our sins lie unatoned
