| [00:09.90] |
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood |
| [00:14.01] |
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud |
| [00:18.80] |
I come in from the wilderness, a creature void of form |
| [00:22.89] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [00:35.64] |
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured |
| [00:40.02] |
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word |
| [00:44.21] |
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm |
| [00:48.90] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [00:57.72] |
Not a word was spoke between us there was no risk involved |
| [01:03.01] |
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved |
| [01:07.13] |
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm |
| [01:11.00] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [01:24.63] |
I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail |
| [01:29.85] |
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail |
| [01:34.00] |
Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn |
| [01:38.09] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [01:51.10] |
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there |
| [01:54.95] |
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair |
| [01:59.31] |
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns |
| [02:03.83] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [02:16.07] |
Now there’s a wall between us something else been lost |
| [02:20.35] |
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed |
| [02:25.09] |
And just to think it all began on an uneventful morn |
| [02:29.43] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [02:41.57] |
Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount |
| [02:46.20] |
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts |
| [02:50.00] |
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn |
| [02:54.32] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [03:07.12] |
I've heard newborn babies cryin' like a moanin' dove |
| [03:11.50] |
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love |
| [03:15.60] |
Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn |
| [03:20.10] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [03:32.47] |
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes |
| [03:36.96] |
I bargained for salvation, they gave me a lethal dose |
| [03:41.48] |
I offered up my innocence, got repaid with scorn |
| [03:45.65] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [03:57.81] |
I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line |
| [04:02.34] |
Beauty walks on a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine |
| [04:06.38] |
But I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born |
| [04:10.75] |
"Come in!" she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
