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