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