'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood |
| [00:32.229] |
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud |
| [00:36.729] |
I come in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. |
| [00:41.59] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [00:42.489] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [00:48.809] |
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured |
| [00:52.389] |
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word |
| [00:56.509] |
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm. |
| [01:00.289] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [01:01.429] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [01:09.489] |
Not a word was spoke between us, there was no risk involved |
| [01:14.60] |
Nothing up to that point had even been resolved. |
| [01:18.409] |
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm. |
| [01:22.450] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [01:23.549] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [01:34.809] |
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, |
| [01:39.510] |
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail, |
| [01:44.519] |
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn. |
| [01:47.939] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [01:48.950] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [02:00.519] |
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there |
| [02:04.629] |
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. |
| [02:08.819] |
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. |
| [02:13.349] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [02:14.339] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [02:38.939] |
Now the bonds are broken, but they can be retied, |
| [02:43.29] |
by one more journey to the woods, the holes where spirits hide. |
| [02:47.39] |
It's a never ending battle for a peace that's always torn |
| [02:51.539] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [02:53.209] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [03:04.829] |
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount |
| [03:09.329] |
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts |
| [03:13.329] |
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn. |
| [03:17.549] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [03:19.49] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [03:29.919] |
I've heard newborn babies cryin' like a moanin' dove |
| [03:33.589] |
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love. |
| [03:38.239] |
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? |
| [03:42.399] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [03:43.919] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [04:04.399] |
And now there’s a wall between us, something else been lost |
| [04:08.739] |
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed. |
| [04:15.609] |
And just to think it all began on an uneventful morn, |
| [04:17.209] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [04:18.469] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [04:29.239] |
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes |
| [04:33.400] |
I bargained for salvation an' she give me a lethal dose. |
| [04:37.770] |
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn. |
| [04:41.659] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [04:42.999] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [05:03.770] |
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line |
| [05:08.390] |
Beauty walks on a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. |
| [05:12.999] |
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born, |
| [05:16.340] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [05:17.479] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
