CEm
ʼTwas in another life time,
FC
One of toil and blood.
CEm
When blackness was a virtue
FC
And the road was full of mud.
CEm
I came in from the wilderness,
FC
A creature void of form.
CEm
"Come in" she said,"Iʼll give you,
FC
Shelter from the storm."
CEm
And if I pass this way again,
FC
You can rest assured,
CEm
Iʼll always do my best for her
FC
On that I give my word.
CEm
In a world of steel eyed death and men
FC
Who are fighting to be warm,
CEm
Come in she said,Iʼll give you
FC
Shelter from the storm.
CEm
Not a word was spoke between us.
FC
There was little risk involved.
CEm
everything up to that point,
FC
Had been left unresolved.
CEm
Try imagining a place
FC
Where itʼs always safe and warm
CEm
Come in she said, Iʼll give you
FC
Shelter from the storm.
CEm
I was burned out from exhaustion
FC
I was buried in the hail.
CEm
Poisoned in the bushes
FC
Anʼ blown out on the trail
CEm
Hunted like a crocodile,
FC
Ravaged in the corn
CEm
Come in she said, Iʼll give you
FC
Shelter from the storm
CEm
Suddenly I turned around
FC
And she was standing there
CEm
With silver bracelets on her wrists
FC
And flowers in her hair.
CEm
She walked up to me so gracefully
FC
And took my crown of thorns
CEm
Come in she said, Iʼll give you,
FC
Shelter from the storm.
CEm
Now thereʼs a wall between us
FC
Something has been lost.
CEm
I took too much for granted
FC
I got my signals crossed
CEm
Just to think that all began
FC
On an uneventfull morn
CEm
Come in she said, Iʼll give you
FC
Shelter from the storm
CEm
Well the deputy walks on hard nails
FC
And the preacher rides a mount
CEm
But nothing really matters
FC
Itʼs doom alone that counts
CEm
And the one-eyed undertaker
FC
He blows a futile horn
CEm
Come in she said, Iʼll give you
FC
Shelter from the storm
CEm
Iʼve heard newborn babies wailinʼ
FC
Like a morninʼ dove
CEm
And old men with broken teeth
FC
Stranded without love.
CEm
Do I understand your question, man
FC
Is it hopeless and forlorn.
CEm
Come in she said, Iʼll give you
FC
Shelter from the storm.
CEm
In a little hill top village
FC
I gambled for my clothes
CEm
I bargained for salvation
FC
And they gave me a leathal dose.
CEm
I offered up my innocence
FC
And got repaid with scorn
CEm
Come in she said, Iʼll give you
FC
Shelter from the storm
CEm
Well Iʼm livinʼ in a foreign country
FC
But Iʼm bound to cross the line.
CEm
Beauty walk a razors edge,
FC
Someday Iʼll make it mine.
CEm
If I could only turn the clock back
FC
To when God and her were born
CEm
Come in she said,Iʼll give you
FC
Shelter from the storm.
