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