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