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