Вступление
[Intro]
G C D/F# G G C D/F# G
[Verse 1]
G C
When I was a boy, just ten years old,
D/F# G
Fishing with my uncle on Lake Champlain,
C
He got a call real late one night,
D/F# G
Took me down to a homebound train.
C G
He said, ‘Son, your daddy´s not well.
Dadd11 G
He needs you home, and he needs you now.’
C G
He knew much more than he would tell,
Dadd11 G
It made no difference, anyhow.
[Verse 2]
G C
I sat all night on the homebound train,
D/F# G
I saw my daddy in my mind.
C
And how it happened, I can´t explain,
D/F# G
I saw him wave and leave me behind.
C G
Just ten years old on a homebound train,
Dadd11 G
I said my prayers, as children do,
C G
Like a song you sing to an old refrain,
Dadd11 G
‘Please, God, please, God, it´s up to you.’
[Break]

[Verse 3]
G C
I dreamed the train had dropped me off,
D/F# G
Broken clouds and the glimpse of a star.
C
There stood Momma and there stood Sue,
D/F# G
And there was Daddy in the car.
C G
I dreamed he held me while I cried,
Dadd11 G
Saying, "It´s alright, son I'm still here",
C G
His big arm around my shoulder,
Dadd11 G
His shirt sleeve to dry my tears.
[Verse 4]
G C
Train pulled in, I climbed down,
D/F# G
Clouds so low, no sign of a star.
C
There stood Momma, and there stood Sue,
D/F# G
I sat there alone in the back of the car.
C G
It started to rain as we pulled away,
Dadd11 G
Rained so hard with the wind so cold,
C G
Streets so empty and the sky so gray,
Dadd11 G
Daddy was gone and I was ten years old.
