  [D]'Twas in another life time,

  [G]One of toil and bloo[D]d.

  When blackness was a virtue

  And the r[G]oad was full of mud.

  [D]I came in from the wilderness,

  A cr[G]eature void of form.

  "Come [D]in" she said,

  "I'll give you,

  [G]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 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 she said

  I'll give you

  Shelter from the storm.

  

  I was burned out from exhaustion

  I was 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 standing 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 

  Something has been lost.

  I took too much for granted

  I got my signals crossed

  Just to think that all began

  On an uneventfull 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

  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

  

  I've heard newborn babies wailin'

  Like a mornin' 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 hill top village

  I gambled for my clothes

  I bargained for salvation

  And they gave me a leathal dose.

  I offered up my innocence

  And got repaid with scorn

  Come in she said

  I'll give you

  Shelter from the storm

  

  Well I'm livin' in a foreign country

  But I'm bound to cross the line.

  Beauty walk a razors edge,

  Someday I'll make it mine.

  If I could only turn the clock back

  To when God and her were born

  Come in she said

  I'll give you

  Shelter from the storm.
