lyrics

there's a house i've dreamt in the distance
through the mist i can make it out clear
where i will return as a stranger
or a son lost for so many years

in a town where a girl rides a stallion
singing bout jesus and jesse james
she calls for their justice to pour down
on the earth like a merciful rain

and a boy dreams of making his fortune
he's all piss and vinegar still
the future before him lies open
as the prairies where nothing's been built

i know that it's only a vision
but there's nights when it seems almost true
like the sunbeams that paint my horizon
or the gray of a vanishing moon

but a woman is stumbling the alleys
i swear i don't recognize
like the specter of some looming ruin
with blue flames aglow in her eyes

there's a house i've dreamt in the distance
through the mist i can make it out plain
where i will return as a father
bent on fighting til its been reclaimed
