Verse
A
The house burned down on a stormy night
C#m
and they never did find out why.
D
I just stood alone beneath the silver maple
Bm A
Trying to keep my cigarettes dry.
[Verse 2]
A
Waiting for the firemen,
C#m
I couldn't save a thing,
D
And deep inside my home above the roar of the flame
Bm A
I swore I heard the telephone ring.
[Verse 3]
A
The rain let up and we worked till dawn,
C#m
just me and the firemen,
D
And when they cut the power and the lines went dead,
Bm A
I never got called again.
[Chorus 1]
F#m C#m
The house was gone by the break of dawn,
D
the air was cold and grey.
A C#m
I just set off down the road alone,
Bm D A D/A A D/A A
but it's always gone that way.
[Verse 4]
A
So young, so long ago
C#m
I thought I heard that train,
D
Calling out my name,
Bm A
At least it sounded like my name.
[Verse 5]
A
Just a boy with no direction,
C#m
I left my home behind,
D
And the sky changed color
Bm A
once I crossed that town line.
[Verse 6]
A
My good friends did the best they could
C#m
to hold me down with them,
D
But I took one look, and I packed my bags
Bm A
and I slipped around the bend.
[Chorus 2]
F#m C#m
The lessons came from left and right,
D
the first night out I found,
A C#m
The laws were not meant to protect
Bm D A A/D A A/D A
the man from out of town.
[Verse 7]
A
There was a cold street on the sea coast,
C#m
I once tried to call home.
D
Where the church steeples rose up
Bm A
above the town like broken bones.
[Verse 8]
A
Drinking whiskey with the catholic priest
C#m
one night in the recotory hall,
D
He just shook his head and said
Bm A
"You never know when Jesus calls."
[Chorus 3]
F#m C#m
Then his eyes got wide and he looked around
D
but he just could not explain.
A C#m
It was like he heard the sound of Jesus laugh
Bm D A D/A A D/A A
the way I heard that train.
[Verse 9]
A
Now the years and the faces blur,
C#m
still I can remember some.
D
There were women washing windows,
Bm A
there were salesgirls chewing gum.
[Verse 10]
A
There were curses in the shapes of old men,
C#m
kneeling in the pews.
D
There are things in this life
Bm A
a man just does not get to choose.
[Verse 11]
A
So, finally I found a home
C#m
in a tiny mountain town,
D
Just a simple place to keep me dry
Bm A
when the rain came pouring down.
[Chorus 4]
F#m C#m
B place to sleep, the rent was cheap,
D
brick walls and a new slate roof.
A C#m
The landlord said "You'll be safe here.
D Bm A
This house is fireproof."
