| [00:01.95] |
|
| [00:10.26] |
Twas in another lifetime, |
| [00:12.62] |
One of toil and blood |
| [00:14.62] |
When blackness was a virtue the road |
| [00:17.13] |
Was full of mud |
| [00:19.27] |
I came in from the wilderness, |
| [00:21.37] |
A creature void of form |
| [00:23.57] |
Come in, she said |
| [00:24.70] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [00:29.07] |
|
| [00:36.55] |
And if I pass this way again, |
| [00:38.36] |
You can rest assured |
| [00:40.66] |
I'll always do my best for her, |
| [00:42.67] |
On that I give my word |
| [00:44.98] |
In a world of steel-eyed death, |
| [00:47.24] |
And men who are fighting to be warm |
| [00:49.33] |
Come in, she said |
| [00:51.43] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [00:55.60] |
|
| [00:58.42] |
Not a word was spoke between us, |
| [01:00.57] |
There was little risk involved |
| [01:03.48] |
Everything up to that point |
| [01:05.05] |
Had been left unresolved |
| [01:07.72] |
Try imagining a place |
| [01:09.46] |
Where it's always safe and warm |
| [01:11.46] |
Come in, she said |
| [01:13.26] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [01:16.13] |
|
| [01:25.39] |
I was burned out from exhaustion, |
| [01:28.00] |
Buried in the hail |
| [01:30.41] |
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out |
| [01:32.70] |
On the trail |
| [01:34.66] |
Hunted like a crocodile, |
| [01:36.36] |
Ravaged in the corn |
| [01:38.83] |
Come in, she said |
| [01:40.11] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [01:48.10] |
|
| [01:51.61] |
Suddenly I turned around and |
| [01:53.24] |
She was standin' there |
| [01:55.50] |
With silver bracelets on her wrists |
| [01:57.51] |
And flowers in her hair |
| [01:59.81] |
She walked up to me so gracefully |
| [02:02.11] |
And took my crown of thorns |
| [02:04.31] |
Come in, she said |
| [02:05.44] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [02:12.39] |
|
| [02:16.87] |
Now there's a wall between us, |
| [02:18.77] |
Somethin' there's been lost |
| [02:21.17] |
I took too much for granted, |
| [02:23.12] |
I got my signals crossed |
| [02:25.47] |
Just to think that it all began |
| [02:27.43] |
On an uneventful morn |
| [02:29.83] |
Come in, she said |
| [02:31.99] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [02:36.09] |
|
| [02:42.14] |
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails |
| [02:43.98] |
And the preacher rides a mount |
| [02:46.66] |
But nothing really matters much, |
| [02:48.67] |
It's doom alone that counts |
| [02:50.87] |
And the one-eyed undertaker, |
| [02:52.92] |
He blows a futile horn |
| [02:55.16] |
Come in, she said |
| [02:56.24] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [03:00.60] |
|
| [03:07.99] |
I've heard newborn babies wailin' |
| [03:09.98] |
Like a mournin' dove |
| [03:12.29] |
And old men with broken teeth stranded |
| [03:14.81] |
Without love |
| [03:16.46] |
Do I understand your question, man, |
| [03:18.50] |
Is it hopeless and forlorn |
| [03:20.76] |
Come in, she said |
| [03:22.15] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [03:25.38] |
|
| [03:33.25] |
In a little hilltop village, |
| [03:35.19] |
They gambled for my clothes |
| [03:37.69] |
I bargained for salvation |
| [03:39.54] |
And she gave me a lethal dose |
| [03:41.95] |
I offered up my innocence |
| [03:44.17] |
I got repaid with scorn |
| [03:46.12] |
Come in, she said |
| [03:47.71] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
| [03:50.52] |
|
| [03:58.71] |
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country |
| [04:00.71] |
But I'm bound to cross the line |
| [04:03.17] |
Beauty walks a razor's edge, |
| [04:05.06] |
Someday I'll make it mine |
| [04:07.14] |
If I could only turn back the clock to |
| [04:09.71] |
When God and her were born |
| [04:11.34] |
Come in, she said |
| [04:12.67] |
I'll give ya shelter from the storm |
