Shelter From The Storm

In the style of

Bob Dylan

Lyrics

'twas in
another lifetime
one of toil and blood
when blackness
was a virtue
the road
was full of mud

i came in
from the
wilderness
a creature
void of form

come in
she said i'll give ya
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 be warm
come in
she said i'll give ya
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
she said i'll give ya
shelter
from the storm

i was burned out
from exhaustion
buried in the hail

poisoned
in the bushes
and blown out
on the trail

hunted like
a crocodile
ravaged in the corn
come in
she said i'll give ya
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 ya
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 an
uneventful morn
come in
she said i'll give ya
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 ya
shelter
from the storm

i've heard
newborn babies
wailin' 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 ya
shelter
from the storm

in a little
hilltop village
they gambled
for my clothes

i bargained
for salvation
and she'd
gimme a lethal dose

i offered up
my innocence
i got repaid
with scorn
come in
she said i'll give ya
shelter
from the storm

well 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 ya
shelter
from the storm
