| [00:11.980] |
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood |
| [00:16.630] |
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud |
| [00:21.130] |
I come in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. |
| [00:25.460] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [00:30.320] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [00:37.410] |
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured |
| [00:41.590] |
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word |
| [00:46.010] |
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm. |
| [00:50.090] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [00:51.830] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [00:59.590] |
Not a word was spoke between us, there was no risk involved |
| [01:04.160] |
Nothing up to that point had even been resolved. |
| [01:08.810] |
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm. |
| [01:12.850] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [01:14.550] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [01:26.110] |
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail, |
| [01:31.110] |
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail, |
| [01:35.520] |
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn. |
| [01:40.140] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [01:41.850] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [01:53.320] |
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there |
| [01:57.200] |
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. |
| [02:00.720] |
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. |
| [02:05.540] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [02:06.550] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [02:17.640] |
Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost |
| [02:22.530] |
I took too much for granted got my signals crossed |
| [02:26.540] |
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn |
| [02:31.540] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [02:33.210] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [02:43.830] |
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount |
| [02:49.030] |
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts |
| [02:52.330] |
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn. |
| [02:56.550] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [02:57.650] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [03:09.220] |
I've heard newborn babies cryin' like a moanin' dove |
| [03:13.590] |
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love. |
| [03:18.640] |
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn? |
| [03:22.130] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [03:24.620] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [03:34.240] |
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes |
| [03:39.400] |
I bargained for salvation an' she give me a lethal dose. |
| [03:42.770] |
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn. |
| [03:47.660] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [03:48.900] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
| [03:59.770] |
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line |
| [04:04.390] |
Beauty walks on a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine. |
| [04:09.190] |
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born, |
| [04:13.340] |
"Come in," she said, |
| [04:16.480] |
"I'll give you shelter from the storm." |
