Verse 1

'Twas in another

lifetime,

One of toil and

blood.

When blackness was a

virtue

And the r

oad was full of mud.

I came

in from the

wilderness,

A cr

eature void of form.

"Come

in" she said,

"I'll

give you,

Shelter from the

storm."

Verse 2

And if I

pass this way a

gain,

You can rest ass

ured,

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 g

ive you

Shelter from the

storm.

Verse 3

Not a

word was spoke be

tween us.

There was

little risk invo

lved.

everything up to t

hat point,

Had been

left unresolved.

Try imagi

ning a place

Where it's

always safe and warm

Come

in she said

I'll g

ive you

Shelter from the

storm.

Verse 4

I was burned out from ex

haustion

I was

buried in the ha

il.

Poisoned in the

bushes

An' blown

out on the trail

Hunted like a

crocodile,

Ra

vaged in the corn

Come

in she said

I'll g

ive you

Shelter from the

storm.

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 g

ive you,

Shelter from the

storm.

Verse 6

Now there's a wall be

tween us

Something has been l

ost.

I took too much for

granted

I g

ot my signals crossed

Just to think that it

all began

On an

uneventful morn

Come

in she said

I'll g

ive you

Shelter from the

storm.

Verse 7

Well, the

deputy walks on

hard nails

And the

preacher rides a m

ount

But nothing really

matters

It's

doom alone that counts

And the

one-eyed under

taker

He

blows a futile horn

Come

in she said

I'll g

ive you

Shelter from the

storm.

Verse 8

I've heard newborn b

abies wailin'

Like a mornin' d

ove

And old men with

broken teeth

Str

anded without love.

Do I

understand your

question, man

Is it

hopeless and forlorn.

Come

in she said

I'll g

ive you

Shelter from the

storm.

Verse 9

In a

little hilltop

village

I

gambled for my

clothes

I bargained for sal

vation

And she

gave me a lethal dose.

I

offered up my

innocence

And

got repaid with scorn

Come

in she said

I'll g

ive you

Shelter from the

storm.

Verse 10

Well, I'm

livin' in a foreign

country

But I'm

bound to cross the

line.

Beauty walks a

razors edge,

Some

day 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 g

ive you

Shelter from the

storm.
