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