| [00:09.218] |
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood |
| [00:13.483] |
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud |
| [00:18.093] |
I come in from the wilderness, a creature void of form |
| [00:22.441] |
"Come in," she said， “ |
| [00:23.318] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
| [00:35.264] |
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured |
| [00:39.431] |
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word |
| [00:43.750] |
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm |
| [00:48.136] |
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [00:57.359] |
Not a word was spoke between us, there was no risk involved |
| [01:02.044] |
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved |
| [01:06.312] |
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm |
| [01:10.310] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [01:11.337] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
| [01:24.072] |
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail |
| [01:28.858] |
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail |
| [01:33.058] |
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn |
| [01:37.073] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [01:38.288] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
| [01:50.247] |
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there |
| [01:53.898] |
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair |
| [01:58.361] |
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns |
| [02:02.582] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [02:04.801] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
| [02:15.341] |
Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost |
| [02:19.265] |
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed |
| [02:23.468] |
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn |
| [02:28.000] |
"Come in," she said, “ |
| [02:28.876] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
| [02:40.378] |
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount |
| [02:45.043] |
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts |
| [02:48.972] |
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn |
| [02:53.204] |
"Come in," she said, “ |
| [02:54.279] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
| [03:06.101] |
I've heard newborn babies cryin' like a moanin' dove |
| [03:10.372] |
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love |
| [03:14.423] |
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? |
| [03:18.834] |
"Come in," she said, “ |
| [03:19.922] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
| [03:31.239] |
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes |
| [03:35.741] |
I bargained for salvation an' she give me a lethal dose |
| [03:39.784] |
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn |
| [03:44.076] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [03:45.095] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
| [03:56.506] |
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line |
| [04:00.951] |
Beauty walks on a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine |
| [04:05.046] |
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born, |
| [04:09.248] |
"Come in," she said, “ |
| [04:10.968] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." “ |
