Twas 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

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 keep warm

Come in she said

I'll give you shelter from the storm

Not a word was spoke between us

There was no 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 an' 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 standin' 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

Somethin' there's been lost

I took too much for granted

I got my signals crossed

Just to think it all

Began on a down a bing for 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

Well I've heard newborn babies

Crying like a mournin' dove

And old men with 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 gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation

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 walks a razor's 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
