Shelter from the Storm
Rodney Crowell

'Twas 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 said, I'll give you shelter from the storm

Not a word was spoke between us, there was no 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, buried in the hail

Poisoned in the bushes, 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 standin' there

With silver bracelets on her wrist 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

And the deputy walks on hard nails, preacher rides a mount

Nothing really matters much, 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

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes

I bargained for salvation, they gave me a lethal dose

I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn

Come in, she said I'll give you shelter from the storm

Now there's a wall between us, something else been lost

I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed

Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn'

Come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm

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 her mine

If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born

Come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm
