Shelter from the Storm - Bob Dylan | ||
|
||
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood | ||
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud | ||
When darkness was a virtue the road was caked with 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 an' blown out on the trail | ||
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn | ||
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm | ||
"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" | ||
|
||
"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 gave me a lethal dose | ||
I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn | ||
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured | ||
I'll always do my best for you, of that I give my word | ||
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men just praying to keep warm | ||
"Come in", she said, "I'll give ya shelter from the storm" | ||
"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" |
