It was in another lifetime One of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue And the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness A creature void of form Come in she says I'll give you Shelter from the storm
Not a word was spoken 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 says I'll give you Shelter from the storm
The deputy walks on hard nails And the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters very much It's the doom alone that counts And the one-eyed undertaker He blows a futile horn Come in she says I'll give you Shelter from the storm...
It was in another lifetime One of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue And the road was full of mud Shelter from the storm
