I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood[00:00:09]
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud[00:00:14]
I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form[00:00:18]
"Come in" she said[00:00:23]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:00:24]
And if I pass this way again you can rest assured[00:00:35]
I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word[00:00:40]
In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm[00:00:44]
"Come in" she said[00:00:47]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:00:49]
Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved[00:00:58]
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved[00:01:02]
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm[00:01:07]
"Come in" she said[00:01:11]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:01:12]
I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail[00:01:24]
Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail[00:01:30]
Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn[00:01:34]
"Come in" she said[00:01:38]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:01:39]
Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there[00:01:51]
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair[00:01:54]
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns[00:01:59]
"Come in" she said[00:02:03]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:02:04]
Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost[00:02:16]
I took too much for granted got my signals crossed[00:02:20]
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn[00:02:25]
"Come in" she said[00:02:29]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:02:30]
Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount[00:02:41]
But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts[00:02:46]
And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn[00:02:50]
"Come in" she said[00:02:54]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:02:55]
I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove[00:03:07]
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love[00:03:11]
Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn[00:03:15]
"Come in" she said[00:03:20]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:03:21]
In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes[00:03:32]
I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose[00:03:37]
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn[00:03:41]
"Come in" she said[00:03:45]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm" [00:03:46]
Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line[00:03:58]
Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine[00:04:02]
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born[00:04:06]
"Come in" she said[00:04:10]
"I'll give you shelter from the storm"[00:04:12]
