Shelter From
The Storm
Twas in another lifetime
one oftoil 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
Come in, she said,

I'll give you
shelter from the storm
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

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 ofthorns

Come in, she said
I'll give you
shelter from the storm

Now the bonds are broken
but they can be re-tied
on one more journey
to the woods

that holds my spirit tight I

Now the bonds are broken
but they can be re-tied
on one more journey
to the woods

that holds my spirit tight I
It's a never ending battle
for a peace that's
always torn

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

I've heard newborn babies
crying 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

Now there's a wall between us
somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted
got my signals crossed.

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

In a little hilltop village,
they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation
an' just give 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.

turn back the clock
to when God and her were born.
