Shelter From The Storm - Ed Roland/The Sweet Tea Project[00:00:00]
'Twas in another lifetime [00:00:02]
One of toil and blood[00:00:04]
When blackness was a virtue[00:00:06]
And the road was full of mud[00:00:08]
I came in from the wilderness [00:00:10]
A creature void of form[00:00:13]
Come in she said [00:00:15]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:00:16]
And if I pass this way again [00:00:21]
You can rest assured[00:00:23]
I'll always do my best for her [00:00:25]
On that I give my word[00:00:27]
In a world of steel eyed death[00:00:29]
And men who are fighting to be warm[00:00:31]
Come in she said [00:00:33]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:00:35]
Not a word was spoken between us [00:00:45]
There was little risk involved[00:00:47]
Everything up to that point[00:00:50]
Had been left unresolved[00:00:52]
Try imagining a place where[00:00:54]
It's always safe and warm[00:00:56]
Come in she said [00:00:58]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:01:00]
I was burned out from exhaustion [00:01:04]
Buried in the hail[00:01:06]
Poisoned in the bushes[00:01:08]
An' blown out on the trail[00:01:10]
Hunted like a crocodile [00:01:13]
Ravaged in the corn[00:01:15]
Come in she said [00:01:17]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:01:18]
Suddenly I turned around and[00:01:29]
She was standin' there[00:01:31]
With silver bracelets on her[00:01:33]
Wrists and flowers in her hair[00:01:35]
She walked up to me so gracefully[00:01:38]
And took my crown of thorns[00:01:40]
Come in she said [00:01:42]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:01:43]
Now there's a wall between us [00:01:55]
Somethin' there's been lost[00:01:58]
I took too much for granted [00:02:00]
Got my signals crossed[00:02:02]
Just to think that it all began[00:02:04]
On a long forgotten morn[00:02:06]
Come in she said [00:02:08]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:02:09]
Well the deputy walks on hard[00:02:22]
Nails and the preacher rides a mount[00:02:24]
But nothing really matters much [00:02:26]
It's doom alone that counts[00:02:28]
And the one eyed undertaker [00:02:30]
He blows a futile horn[00:02:32]
Come in she said [00:02:34]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:02:35]
I've heard newborn babies[00:02:47]
Wailin' like a mournin' dove[00:02:49]
And old men with broken[00:02:51]
Teeth stranded without love[00:02:53]
Do I understand your question [00:02:55]
Man is it hopeless and forlorn [00:02:57]
Come in she said [00:03:00]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:03:01]
In a little hilltop village [00:03:13]
They gambled for my clothes[00:03:15]
I bargained for salvation[00:03:17]
An' they gave me a lethal dose[00:03:19]
I offered up my innocence[00:03:21]
And got repaid with scorn[00:03:23]
Come in she said [00:03:26]
I'll give you shelter shelter from the storm[00:03:27]
Shelter from the storm[00:03:39]
Well I'm livin' in a foreign country[00:03:50]
But I'm bound to cross the line[00:03:52]
Beauty walks a razor's edge [00:03:54]
Someday I'll make it mine[00:03:56]
If I could only turn back the clock[00:03:58]
To when God and her were born[00:04:01]
Come in she said [00:04:03]
I'll give you shelter from the storm[00:04:04]
