josh threlkeld - shelter from the storm lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
’twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
when vengeance was a virtue and the road was full of mud
i came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form

[refrain]
“come in,” she said, “i’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

[verse 2]
i was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail
hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn

[refrain]
“come in,” she said, “i’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

[verse 3]
the dеputy walks on hard nails and the preacher ridеs a mount, but nothing really matters much, it’s doom alone that counts
while the one+eyed undertaker, blows his futile h+rn

[refrain]
“come in,” she said, “i’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

[verse 4]
in a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
i bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose
i offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
[refrain]
“come in,” she said, “i’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

[verse 5]
suddenly i turned around and she was standing there
with turquoise bracelets on her wrists and currents in her hair
she walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of th+rns

[refrain]
“come in,” she said, “i’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

[verse 6]
this time unwinds in day+to+days and years turn memory stale
my leathered back has given out with no way to make bail
the way’s too far to see. when we agreed to say no more

[refrain]
“come in,” she said, “i’ll give you shelter from the storm.”

[outro]
now i’m living in a foreign country, but i’m bound to cross the line
beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday l’ll make it mine
from that silence at the end of days can the hopeless be reborn?

[refrain]
“come in,” she said, “i’ll give you shelter from the storm.”
