Verse 1

'Twas in another

lifetime

One of toil and

blood

When blackness was a

virtue The

road was full of mud

I came in from the

wilderness A

creature void of form

Come in she said

I'll give ya

Shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 2

And if I pass this

way again

You can rest

assured

I'll always do my

best for her On

that I give my word

In a

world of steel-eyed

death and men Who are

fighting to be warm

Come in she said

I'll give ya

Shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 3

Not a word was sp

oke between us There was

little risk

involved

Everything up

to that point Had been

left unresolved

Try imagining

a place Where it's

always safe and warm

Come in she said

I'll give ya

Shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 4

I was burned out from

exhaustion

Buried in the

hail

Poisoned in the

bushes And

blown out on the trail

Hunted like a

crocodile

Ravaged in the corn

Come in she said

I'll give ya

Shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 5

Suddenly I

turned around And

she was standing

there

With silver bracelets

on her wrists And

flowers in her hair

She walked up to me so

gracefully And

took my crown of thorns

Come in she said

I'll give ya

Shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 6

Now there's a wall be

tween us

somethin' there's been

lost

I took too much for

granted g

ot my signals crossed

Just to think that it

all began on a

long forgotten morn

Come in she said I'll

give you

shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 7

Well the deputy walks on

hard nails and the

preacher rides

a mount

But nothing really

matters much it's d

oom alone that counts

And the one-eyed

undertaker he

blows a futile horn

Come in she said I'll

give you

shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 8

I've heard newborn

babies wailin'

like a mournin'

dove

And old men with

broken teeth

stranded without love

Do I understand your

question then is it

hopeless and forlorn

Come in she said I'll

give you

shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 9

In a little hilltop

village,

they gambled for my

clothes

I bargained for sal

vation and they

gave me a lethal dose

I offered up my

innocence and

got repaid with scorn

Come in she said I'll

give you

shelter from the

storm

Instrumental

Verse 10

Well I'm livin' in a

foreign country but I'm

bound to cross the

line

Beauty walks a

razor's edge s

omeday I'll make it mine

If I could only turn

back the clock to when

God and her were born

Come in she said I'll

give you

shelter from the

storm

Instrumental
