38 Special - Shelter Me lyrics

There's a woman who tries to hide

From a man who's dark inside

For her children she says a prayer

Fear and desperation keeps her there

Will redemption come around in time to save her?

She wants to run from the life that he gave her.

She cries...

"Love, come and shelter me

Your light is all I need to survive

Take me from where the cold wind's blowin

To where the healing water's flowin'

Love, come and shelter me"

... And there's a beggar, feels like half a man

He fought the war, now he fights the pain

He was a hero in a foreign land

Now he's flat broke and stranded in the rain

But his dignity runs deeper than the ocean

In a voice that trembles with emotion, he cries...

"Love, come and shelter me

Your light is all I need to survive

In a world where the cold winds blowin'

Will your love be a shelter for me?"

So blind, yet we try to see

Fallin' short of what could be

All hopes and dreams goin' nowhere

So we pray for a new tomorrow

To wash our sorrows away

Pray for a new tomorrow

To wash our sorrows away...

"Love, come and Shelter Me"...
