Song Shelter from the Storm
Artist Bob Dylan

Lyrics

[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." “
