Shelter From The Storm
Twas in another lifetime,
One of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue the road
Was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness,
A creature void of form
Come in, she said
I'll give ya 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 ya 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 ya 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 ya 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 ya shelter from the storm
Now there's a wall between us,
Somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted,
I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began
On an uneventful morn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya 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 ya 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 ya shelter from the storm
In a little hilltop village,
They gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation
And she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence
I got repaid with scorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya 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 ya shelter from the storm
