Pat Benatar - SANCTUARY lyrics

Wise men say these are the facts of life, what ya can't read, you gotta write

What you don't know can hurt you, welcome to the Wasteland

Hail Mary, hear me now, I'm in need of Sanctuary

Yes, these are hard times to be livin' in

Out in the Wasteland, where love's a give away

I fall on my face, like a rebel in the dirt

Chorus:

Sanctuary, give me some protection, baby, baby cover me

Feelin' lost and so afraid, just tryin' to keep a handle on the blade

Been such a long time running

Behind these walls inside of me, ain't nothin' clear as far as I see

Looks like a storm cloud breakin'

Off in the distance, I hear a drivin' beat, a drivin' beat

The sun goes down like a rebel in the dirt

Sanctuary, give me some protection, baby, baby cover me

Sanctuary, give me some protection, baby, baby shelter me

Heartache gonna worry me down, I don't like it

Show me mercy, peace of mind, stand beside me in these troubled times

Give me a reason to believe in now

Love and affection, they seem so far away, so far away

All I can do just to make it through the night

Sanctuary, give me some protection, baby, baby cover me

Sanctuary, give me some protection, baby, baby shelter me

Sanctuary, Sanctuary

Sanctuary, Sanctuary
