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 fighting to be warm,
Come in she said, I'll give
you shelter from the storm.
Not a word was spoke 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
you shelter from the storm.
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
you shelter from the storm
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
you shelter from the storm.
Now there's a wall between
us, something has been lost.
I took too much for granted,
I got my signals crossed
Just to think that all began
on a noneventfull morn
Come in she said I'll give
you shelter from the storm
Well the deputy walks on hard
nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters
much, it's doom 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
I've heard newborn babies wailin'
like a mornin' 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.
In a little hill top village,
they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation
and she 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
I'm livin' in a foreign country,
but I'm bound to cross the line.
Beauty walk a razors edge,
someday 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.
