Shelter From The Storm |
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood |
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud |
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured |
I’ll always do my best for her, on that I give my word |
In a world of steel eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved |
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved |
Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail |
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail |
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there |
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair |
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
Now there’s a wall between us, somethin' there’s been lost |
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed |
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount |
But nothing really matters much, it’s doom alone that counts |
And the one eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
I’ve heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove |
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love |
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes |
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose |
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
Well, I’m livin' in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line |
Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine |
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born |
«Come in,"she said, «I'll give you shelter from the storm» |
