Shelter From The Storm (Album Version) - Rodney Crowell (duet with Emmylou Harris)[00:00:00]
Written by:Bob Dylan/Rodney Crowell/Peter Coleman[00:00:04]
Twas in another lifetime[00:00:13]
One of toil and blood[00:00:17]
When blackness was a virtue[00:00:20]
And the road was full of mud[00:00:23]
I came in from the wilderness[00:00:26]
A creature void of form[00:00:30]
Come in she said I'll give you[00:00:33]
Shelter from the storm[00:00:36]
And if I pass this way again[00:00:39]
You can rest assured[00:00:43]
I'll always do my best for her[00:00:46]
On that I give my word[00:00:49]
In a world of steal eyed death and men[00:00:52]
Who are fighting to stay warm[00:00:55]
Come in she said I'll give you[00:00:59]
Shelter from the storm[00:01:02]
Not a word was spoke between us[00:01:05]
There was little risk involved[00:01:08]
Everything up to that point had been[00:01:12]
Left unresolved[00:01:16]
Try imagining a place for it is[00:01:18]
Always safe and warm[00:01:22]
Come in I'll give you[00:01:25]
Shelter from the storm[00:01:28]
You were burned out from exhaustion[00:01:31]
Buried in the hail[00:01:34]
Poisoned in the bushes[00:01:38]
Blown out on the trail[00:01:41]
Hunted like a crocodile[00:01:44]
Ravaged in the corn[00:01:48]
Come in I will give[00:01:51]
Shelter from the storm[00:01:54]
Suddenly I turned around[00:01:58]
And she was standin' there[00:02:01]
With silver bracelets on her wrists[00:02:04]
And flowers in her hair[00:02:07]
She walked up to me gracefully[00:02:10]
Took my crown of thorns[00:02:13]
Come in she said[00:02:17]
I'll give you[00:02:18]
Shelter from the storm[00:02:20]
Now there's a wall between us[00:02:23]
Somethin' has been lost[00:02:27]
I took too much for granted[00:02:30]
I got my signals crossed[00:02:33]
Just to think that it all began[00:02:36]
On so long for garden morn[00:02:39]
Come in I said I'll give you[00:02:43]
Shelter from the storm[00:02:46]
Well the deputy walks on hard nails[00:02:51]
The preacher rides a mount[00:02:54]
But nothing really matters much[00:02:57]
It's doom alone that counts[00:03:00]
The one eyed undertaker[00:03:03]
He blows his futile horn[00:03:07]
Come in she said I'll give you[00:03:10]
Shelter from the storm[00:03:13]
I've heard newborn babies wailin'[00:03:47]
Like a mournin' dove[00:03:51]
And old men with their broken teeth[00:03:54]
Stranded without love[00:03:58]
Do I understand your question man[00:04:00]
Is it hopeless and forlorn[00:04:04]
Come in she said I'll give you[00:04:07]
Shelter from the storm[00:04:11]
In a little hilltop village[00:04:13]
They gamble for your clothes[00:04:17]
You'll bargain for salvation[00:04:20]
And they give you a lethal dose[00:04:23]
You'll offer up your innocence[00:04:26]
And get repaid with scorn[00:04:30]
Come in I will give you[00:04:33]
Shelter from the storm[00:04:36]
Now I'm livin' in a foreign country[00:04:41]
But I'm bound to cross the line[00:04:44]
Beauty walks a razor's edge someday[00:04:48]
I'll make it mine[00:04:51]
If I could only turn back the hands of time to[00:04:54]
When you and god were born[00:04:57]
I know that I could give you[00:05:00]
Shelter from the storm[00:05:04]
Come in and I will give you[00:05:07]
Shelter from the storm[00:05:10]
