'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood[00:00:25]

When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud[00:00:30]

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

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

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

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured[00:00:47]

I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word[00:00:51]

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

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

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

Not a word was spoke between us, there was no risk involved[00:01:09]

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

Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.[00:01:18]

"Come in," she said,[00:01:22]

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."[00:01:23]

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

Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,[00:01:39]

Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.[00:01:44]

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

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

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there[00:02:00]

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.[00:02:04]

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

"Come in," she said,[00:02:13]

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."[00:02:14]

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

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

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

"Come in," she said,[00:02:51]

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

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

But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts[00:03:09]

And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.[00:03:13]

"Come in," she said,[00:03:17]

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

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

And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.[00:03:33]

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

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

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

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

I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed.[00:04:08]

And just to think it all began on an uneventful morn,[00:04:15]

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

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."[00:04:18]

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

I bargained for salvation an' she give me a lethal dose.[00:04:33]

I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.[00:04:37]

"Come in," she said,[00:04:41]

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

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line[00:05:03]

Beauty walks on a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.[00:05:08]

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

"Come in," she said,[00:05:16]

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."[00:05:17]
