《Shelter From The Storm》歌词

[00:00:24] 'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood

[00:00:29] When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud

[00:00:34] I come in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.

[00:00:38] "Come in," she said,

[00:00:40] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:00:46] And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured

[00:00:50] I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word

[00:00:55] In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.

[00:00:59] "Come in," she said,

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

[00:01:08] Not a word was spoke between us, there was no risk involved

[00:01:13] Nothing up to that point had even been resolved.

[00:01:17] Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.

[00:01:21] "Come in," she said,

[00:01:22] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:01:34] I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,

[00:01:38] Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,

[00:01:43] Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.

[00:01:47] "Come in," she said,

[00:01:48] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:01:59] Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there

[00:02:03] With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.

[00:02:08] She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.

[00:02:12] "Come in," she said,

[00:02:13] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:02:38] Now the bonds are broken, but they can be retied,

[00:02:42] By one more journey to the woods, the holes where spirits hide.

[00:02:46] It's a never ending battle for a peace that's always torn

[00:02:50] "Come in," she said,

[00:02:52] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:03:04] Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount

[00:03:08] But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts

[00:03:12] And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.

[00:03:16] "Come in," she said,

[00:03:18] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:03:29] I've heard newborn babies cryin' like a moanin' dove

[00:03:32] And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.

[00:03:37] Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?

[00:03:41] "Come in," she said,

[00:03:43] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:04:03] And now there’s a wall between us, something else been lost

[00:04:07] I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed.

[00:04:14] And just to think it all began on an uneventful morn,

[00:04:16] "Come in," she said,

[00:04:17] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:04:28] In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes

[00:04:32] I bargained for salvation an' she give me a lethal dose.

[00:04:36] I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.

[00:04:40] "Come in," she said,

[00:04:42] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."

[00:05:02] Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line

[00:05:07] Beauty walks on a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.

[00:05:11] If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born,

[00:05:15] "Come in," she said,

[00:05:16] "I'll give you shelter from the storm."
