[00:35.52]'Twas in another lifetime one of toil and blood
[00:40.23]When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
[00:44.31]I come in from the wilderness a creature void of form
[00:48.90]Come in she said
[00:50.07]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[01:05.55]And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
[01:06.57]I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
[01:10.32]In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm
[01:11.70]Come in she said
[01:12.12]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[01:13.05]Not a word was spoke between us there was no risk involved
[01:16.05]Nothing up to that point had even been resolved
[01:19.83]Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
[01:24.09]Come in she said
[01:25.26]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[01:45.81]I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail
[01:50.46]Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
[01:54.96]Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn
[01:59.10]Come in she said
[02:00.27]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[02:20.79]Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
[02:25.20]With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
[02:29.31]She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
[02:33.93]Come in she said
[02:35.07]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[02:55.23]Now the bonds are broken but they can be retied
[02:56.52]By one more journey to the woods the holes where spirits hide
[02:58.17]It's a never ending battle for a peace that's always torn
[03:00.12]Come in she said
[03:00.66]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[03:01.59]Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
[03:03.12]But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts
[03:04.98]And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn
[03:08.58]Come in she said
[03:09.69]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[03:30.30]I've heard newborn babies cryin' like a moanin' dove
[03:33.03]And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
[03:35.13]Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn
[03:41.79]Come in she said
[03:44.46]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[04:05.01]And now there's a wall between us something else been lost
[04:09.45]I took too much for granted I got my signals crossed
[04:13.44]And just to think it all began on an uneventful morn
[04:18.02]Come in she said
[04:19.17]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[04:21.77]In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
[04:40.44]I bargained for salvation an' she give me a lethal dose
[04:41.79]I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
[04:43.41]Come in she said
[04:44.07]I'll give you shelter from the storm
[04:45.42]Well I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
[04:48.03]Beauty walks on a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
[04:49.20]If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
[04:52.38]Come in she said
[04:53.52]I'll give you shelter from the storm
