Shelter From The Storm (From "Jerry Maguire")

Shelter From The Storm - Hit Crew Masters

'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"

If I pass this way again

You can rest assured

I'll always do my best for her

On that I give my word

In a world of steel eyed death and men

Who are fighting to be warm

"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

An' 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 wrists

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"

Now the bonds are broken

But they can be retied

By one more journey to the woods

The holes where spirits hide

It's a never ending battle

For a peace that's always torn

"Come in " she said

"I'll give you shelter from the storm "

Well the deputy walks on hard nails

And the preacher rides a mount

But nothing really matters much

It's 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 "

I've heard newborn babies cryin' like a moanin' dove

And old men with broken teeth stranded without love

Do I understand your question

Man is it hopeless and forlorn

"Come in " she said

"I'll give you shelter from the storm "

And now there's a wall between us

Something else been lost

I took too much for granted

I got my signals crossed

And just to think it all

Began on an uneventful morn

"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

An' she give 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 "

Well I'm livin' in a foreign country

But I'm bound to cross the line

Beauty walks on a razor's edge

Someday I'll make it mine

If I only turn back the clock

To when God and her were born

"Come in " she said

"I'll give you shelter from the storm "
