| [00:09.90] |
I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood |
| [00:14.27] |
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud |
| [00:18.71] |
I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form |
| [00:23.15] |
"Come in" she said |
| [00:24.15] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [00:27.06] |
|
| [00:35.78] |
And if I pass this way again you can rest assured |
| [00:40.03] |
I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word |
| [00:44.41] |
In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm |
| [00:47.91] |
"Come in" she said |
| [00:49.97] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [00:54.41] |
|
| [00:58.12] |
Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved |
| [01:02.99] |
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved |
| [01:07.31] |
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm |
| [01:11.18] |
"Come in" she said |
| [01:12.49] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [01:15.62] |
|
| [01:24.93] |
I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail |
| [01:30.06] |
Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail |
| [01:34.24] |
Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn |
| [01:38.37] |
"Come in" she said |
| [01:39.62] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [01:42.49] |
|
| [01:51.06] |
Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there |
| [01:55.00] |
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair |
| [01:59.37] |
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns |
| [02:03.87] |
"Come in" she said |
| [02:04.93] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [02:08.06] |
|
| [02:16.37] |
Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost |
| [02:20.68] |
I took too much for granted got my signals crossed |
| [02:25.06] |
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn |
| [02:29.49] |
"Come in" she said |
| [02:30.56] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [02:34.06] |
|
| [02:41.56] |
Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount |
| [02:46.25] |
But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts |
| [02:50.31] |
And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn |
| [02:54.68] |
"Come in" she said |
| [02:55.87] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [03:00.18] |
|
| [03:07.50] |
I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove |
| [03:11.87] |
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love |
| [03:15.75] |
Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn |
| [03:20.25] |
"Come in" she said |
| [03:21.56] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [03:25.31] |
|
| [03:32.69] |
In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes |
| [03:37.25] |
I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose |
| [03:41.37] |
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn |
| [03:45.87] |
"Come in" she said |
| [03:47.00] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
| [03:50.44] |
|
| [03:58.12] |
Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line |
| [04:02.81] |
Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine |
| [04:06.75] |
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born |
| [04:11.00] |
"Come in" she said |
| [04:12.25] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm". |
