Shelter Me (Live)

Shelter Me (Live) - Joe Cocker

Written by：Nick Distefano/Michael Lang

This ain't no place for losers

Or the innocent

Of mind

It's a full time job

For anyone

To stay alive

The streets have shallow boundaries

For the war that's everyone

What a wasteland

For broken dreams and hired guns

Shelter me

Oh shelter me

When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground

Shelter me

I've gone to sleep

With one eye open

The other rolls my tears

In the darkness

I can hide my heart

But none of my fears

In the morning

Like a soldier

I look closed up battleground

Another day

Another part of me

And the world goes round

Shelter me

Won't you shelter me

When I lose control of my only home

Shelter me

Ohhhh

Oh shelter me

When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground

Shelter me

Every time I tumble down

I wanna pack it up

And leave this town

But when I finally get the nerve

Get cleared out of the shoes

I'm thanking you

I'm thanking you

Baby shelter me

Please shelter me

When I'm sitting like

I'm losing ground

Shelter me

Ohhh

Won't you shelter me

When I lose control

Of my only home

Shelter me

Ohhh yeahh

Baby shelter me

When I'm sitting down

And losing ground

Shelter me
