[00:27.580]	'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
[00:32.229]	When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
[00:36.729]	I come in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
[00:41.59]	"Come in," she said,
[00:42.489]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[00:48.809]	And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
[00:52.389]	I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
[00:56.509]	In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.
[01:00.289]	"Come in," she said,
[01:01.429]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[01:09.489]	Not a word was spoke between us, there was no risk involved
[01:14.60]	Nothing up to that point had even been resolved.
[01:18.409]	Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
[01:22.450]	"Come in," she said,
[01:23.549]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[01:34.809]	I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,
[01:39.510]	Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,
[01:44.519]	Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
[01:47.939]	"Come in," she said,
[01:48.950]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[02:00.519]	Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
[02:04.629]	With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
[02:08.819]	She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
[02:13.349]	"Come in," she said,
[02:14.339]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[02:38.939]	Now the bonds are broken, but they can be retied,
[02:43.29]	by one more journey to the woods, the holes where spirits hide.
[02:47.39]	It's a never ending battle for a peace that's always torn
[02:51.539]	"Come in," she said,
[02:53.209]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[03:04.829]	Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
[03:09.329]	But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
[03:13.329]	And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.
[03:17.549]	"Come in," she said,
[03:19.49]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[03:29.919]	I've heard newborn babies cryin' like a moanin' dove
[03:33.589]	And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.
[03:38.239]	Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
[03:42.399]	"Come in," she said,
[03:43.919]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[04:04.399]	And now there’s a wall between us, something else been lost
[04:08.739]	I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed.
[04:15.609]	And just to think it all began on an uneventful morn,
[04:17.209]	"Come in," she said,
[04:18.469]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[04:29.239]	In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
[04:33.400]	I bargained for salvation an' she give me a lethal dose.
[04:37.770]	I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.
[04:41.659]	"Come in," she said,
[04:42.999]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
[05:03.770]	Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
[05:08.390]	Beauty walks on a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.
[05:12.999]	If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born,
[05:16.340]	"Come in," she said,
[05:17.479]	"I'll give you shelter from the storm."
