Verse
C# G#
I lay awake for a night
F# A#m G#
Drenched in anguish and bright light
F# C#
I dreamt about an ancient house
G# C#
And a slow Southern home
[Verse 2]
C# G#
I was there, and so were you
F# A#m G#
Not a word was spoke, nothing new
F# C#
It was old, all was known
G# C#
Like a sheep to the fold
[Verse 3]
C# G#
A# blind man sang, bells of joy
F# A#m G#
I was a stranger, but still a boy
F# C#
My parents dead, the vines had grown
G# C#
Through my slow Southern home
[Verse 4]
C# G#
In those eyes, I had no name
F# A#m G#
They had seen fear, and all was vain
F# C#
Bells of joy he did sing
G# C#
His noise did ring and ring and ring
[Verse 5]
C# G#
And everyone must come back
F# A#m G#
The flames have risen, the plumes were black
F# C#
And if you're welcomed home by friends
G# C#
It won't ever be the same again
