[00:09.90] I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood
[00:14.27] When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
[00:18.71] I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
[00:23.15] "Come in" she said
[00:24.15] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[00:27.06]
[00:35.78] And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
[00:40.03] I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
[00:44.41] In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
[00:47.91] "Come in" she said
[00:49.97] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[00:54.41]
[00:58.12] Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved
[01:02.99] Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
[01:07.31] Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
[01:11.18] "Come in" she said
[01:12.49] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[01:15.62]
[01:24.93] I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail
[01:30.06] Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail
[01:34.24] Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn
[01:38.37] "Come in" she said
[01:39.62] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[01:42.49]
[01:51.06] Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there
[01:55.00] With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
[01:59.37] She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
[02:03.87] "Come in" she said
[02:04.93] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[02:08.06]
[02:16.37] Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost
[02:20.68] I took too much for granted got my signals crossed
[02:25.06] Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
[02:29.49] "Come in" she said
[02:30.56] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[02:34.06]
[02:41.56] Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
[02:46.25] But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts
[02:50.31] And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn
[02:54.68] "Come in" she said
[02:55.87] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[03:00.18]
[03:07.50] I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove
[03:11.87] And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
[03:15.75] Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn
[03:20.25] "Come in" she said
[03:21.56] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[03:25.31]
[03:32.69] In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
[03:37.25] I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose
[03:41.37] I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
[03:45.87] "Come in" she said
[03:47.00] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
[03:50.44]
[03:58.12] Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
[04:02.81] Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
[04:06.75] If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
[04:11.00] "Come in" she said
[04:12.25] "I'll give you shelter from the storm".
