《Shelter from the Storm》歌词

[00:00:09] I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood

[00:00:14] When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud

[00:00:18] I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form

[00:00:23] "Come in" she said

[00:00:24] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:00:35] And if I pass this way again you can rest assured

[00:00:40] I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word

[00:00:44] In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm

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

[00:00:49] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:00:58] Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved

[00:01:02] Everything up to that point had been left unresolved

[00:01:07] Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm

[00:01:11] "Come in" she said

[00:01:12] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:01:24] I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail

[00:01:30] Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail

[00:01:34] Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn

[00:01:38] "Come in" she said

[00:01:39] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:01:51] Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there

[00:01:54] With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair

[00:01:59] She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns

[00:02:03] "Come in" she said

[00:02:04] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:02:16] Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost

[00:02:20] I took too much for granted got my signals crossed

[00:02:25] Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn

[00:02:29] "Come in" she said

[00:02:30] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:02:41] Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount

[00:02:46] But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts

[00:02:50] And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn

[00:02:54] "Come in" she said

[00:02:55] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:03:07] I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove

[00:03:11] And old men with broken teeth stranded without love

[00:03:15] Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn

[00:03:20] "Come in" she said

[00:03:21] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:03:32] In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes

[00:03:37] I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose

[00:03:41] I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn

[00:03:45] "Come in" she said

[00:03:46] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"

[00:03:58] Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line

[00:04:02] Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine

[00:04:06] If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born

[00:04:10] "Come in" she said

[00:04:12] "I'll give you shelter from the storm"
