作曲：

It was in another lifetime one of toil and blood

When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud

I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form

"Come in" she said

"I'll give you shelter from the storm"

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 who are fighting to stay 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 I will give you shelter from the storm"

You were burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail

Poisoned in the bushes blown out on the trail

Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn

"Come in I will give you shelter from the storm"

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair

She walked up to me 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 somethin' there's been lost

I took too much for granted I got my signals crossed

Just to think that it all began on a noneventful morn

"Come in" I said

"I'll give you shelter from the storm"

Well the deputy walks on hard nails the preacher rides a mount

But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts

The one-eyed undertaker he blows his futile horn

"Come in" she said

"I'll give you shelter from the storm"

-music-

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove

And old men with their broken teeth stranded without love

Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn

"Come in" she said

"I'll give you shelter from the storm"

In a little hilltop village they gamble for my clothes

You'll bargain for salvation and they give you a lethal dose

You'll offer up your innocence and get repaid with scorn

"Come in I will give you shelter from the storm"

Now I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line

Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine

If I could only turn back the hands of time to when you and God were born

I know that I could give you

Shelter from the storm

Come in and I will give you shelter from the storm
