《Shelter From The Storm》歌词

[00:00:00] Shelter From The Storm - Ed Roland/The Sweet Tea Project

[00:00:02] 'Twas in another lifetime

[00:00:04] One of toil and blood

[00:00:06] When blackness was a virtue

[00:00:08] And the road was full of mud

[00:00:10] I came in from the wilderness

[00:00:13] A creature void of form

[00:00:15] Come in she said

[00:00:16] I'll give you shelter from the storm

[00:00:21] And if I pass this way again

[00:00:23] You can rest assured

[00:00:25] I'll always do my best for her

[00:00:27] On that I give my word

[00:00:29] In a world of steel eyed death

[00:00:31] And men who are fighting to be warm

[00:00:33] Come in she said

[00:00:35] I'll give you shelter from the storm

[00:00:45] Not a word was spoken between us

[00:00:47] There was little risk involved

[00:00:50] Everything up to that point

[00:00:52] Had been left unresolved

[00:00:54] Try imagining a place where

[00:00:56] It's always safe and warm

[00:00:58] Come in she said

[00:01:00] I'll give you shelter from the storm

[00:01:04] I was burned out from exhaustion

[00:01:06] Buried in the hail

[00:01:08] Poisoned in the bushes

[00:01:10] An' blown out on the trail

[00:01:13] Hunted like a crocodile

[00:01:15] Ravaged in the corn

[00:01:17] Come in she said

[00:01:18] I'll give you shelter from the storm

[00:01:29] Suddenly I turned around and

[00:01:31] She was standin' there

[00:01:33] With silver bracelets on her

[00:01:35] Wrists and flowers in her hair

[00:01:38] She walked up to me so gracefully

[00:01:40] And took my crown of thorns

[00:01:42] Come in she said

[00:01:43] I'll give you shelter from the storm

[00:01:55] Now there's a wall between us

[00:01:58] Somethin' there's been lost

[00:02:00] I took too much for granted

[00:02:02] Got my signals crossed

[00:02:04] Just to think that it all began

[00:02:06] On a long forgotten morn

[00:02:08] Come in she said

[00:02:09] I'll give you shelter from the storm

[00:02:22] Well the deputy walks on hard

[00:02:24] Nails and the preacher rides a mount

[00:02:26] But nothing really matters much

[00:02:28] It's doom alone that counts

[00:02:30] And the one eyed undertaker

[00:02:32] He blows a futile horn

[00:02:34] Come in she said

[00:02:35] I'll give you shelter from the storm

[00:02:47] I've heard newborn babies

[00:02:49] Wailin' like a mournin' dove

[00:02:51] And old men with broken

[00:02:53] Teeth stranded without love

[00:02:55] Do I understand your question

[00:02:57] Man is it hopeless and forlorn

[00:03:00] Come in she said

[00:03:01] I'll give you shelter from the storm

[00:03:13] In a little hilltop village

[00:03:15] They gambled for my clothes

[00:03:17] I bargained for salvation

[00:03:19] An' they gave me a lethal dose

[00:03:21] I offered up my innocence

[00:03:23] And got repaid with scorn

[00:03:26] Come in she said

[00:03:27] I'll give you shelter shelter from the storm

[00:03:39] Shelter from the storm

[00:03:50] Well I'm livin' in a foreign country

[00:03:52] But I'm bound to cross the line

[00:03:54] Beauty walks a razor's edge

[00:03:56] Someday I'll make it mine

[00:03:58] If I could only turn back the clock

[00:04:01] To when God and her were born

[00:04:03] Come in she said

[00:04:04] I'll give you shelter from the storm
