They're crowded into the smallest spaces
While outside, all of nature cries
It's known to be cruel and unfair
But there is no place to hide
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there

Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

I can't sleep - haunted by their faces
The sadness in their eyes
It hurts so much to see them helpless
It makes me want to cry
But still there is so much left unanswered
For so many innocent lives
They closed the door and are letting nobody in
And only the strong will survive

Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

I've seen the anger and I've seen all the dreams
And I've watched their existence torn apart at the seams
And though I may seem helpless
I will do all that I can do
I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never knew was there

Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm

I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans like never before

So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

Said it's wrong but you know that,
The look on his face means he'll be back again
See you later

Saturday on the night train,
With uptown boys who run cocaine downtown
People waiting

But it's a long time
And you're not home
Don't you feel
Like you're alone?

And it's a long time
And you're alone
Don't you know
You can come home?

You don't feel, but you look fine
No doubt's all on the mainline
Say

Laughing on to no one's joke
Looking around but it's remote
You won't see no one that you know

But it's a long time
And you're not home
Don't you feel
Like you're alone?

And it's a long time
And you're alone
Don't you know
You can come home?

Running where, don't you look round?
Running, running, running, on east bound
Downtown, There's nothing for you

Shelter's waiting for you
I'm still waiting for you
So come home

But it's a long time
And you're not home
Don't you feel
Like you're alone?

And it's a long time
And you're alone
Don't you know
You can come home?

Shelter!

Tears coming down

Cause I'm coming in

Hello how long you gonna be outside in the cold

And I know that you're thinkin'

Chorus:

Tears coming down

Tears coming down

See I Could spend firever here and never wanna stop
Cause Baby you are making my day

Don't tell me what it takes my dear to keep you in one spot
I'm crazy good at finding a way

For all of my days i'll be brave i'll be stronger
And always keep a hand on my pride
And if I build it with care it will last that much longer
I'll always give you somewhere to hide

I'll give you shelter out of the rain
I'll make a good day out of the pain
And if you got a long way don, I'll feel the same
I'll give you shelter out of the rain

So let me kiss you head to toe upon this table top
And baby you can have it your way

I'll keep you save and warm you know I'm never gonna stop
Cause babe I think we'll make it someday

For all of my days i'll be happy to hold you
And always go that extra mile
Cause if I build it with care i'll be there like i told you
I'll always give you reason to smile

I'll give you shelter out of the rain
I'll make a good day out of the pain
And if you got a long way don, I'll feel the same
I'll give you shelter out of the rain

If I lose all respect for you
Can I still call you friend?
Why expose myself to disappointment
Over and over again?
The cycle has to end

(chorus)
Can someone give me shelter
From the pouring rain?
If the water washed your lies away,
Maybe I could trust you again
If anything remained

I'm tired of masking anger,
With humor and diplomacy,
I want to scream out all the fucked up things
We both know about you
Embrace the honesty
(chorus)

I'm sick of the pain,
Give me one good reason,
To believe that you'll change

I wonder how we got this far,
After all these years,
I still don't know who you are.
Like a dream I've fallen down,
I need to wake up,
before I hit the ground

If the water washed you away,
Could I be myself again?
If the water washed you away,
Could I be myself again?
If the water washed you away,
Could I be myself again?

To all who are looking down

Holding on to hearts still wounding

For those who've yet to find it

The place is near where love is moving

Cast off the robes you're wearing

Set aside the names that you've been given

May this place of rest in the fold of your journey

Bind you to hope

You will never walk alone

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(Never walk alone)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(Your arms are all around us)

If our hearts are turned to stone

There is hope we know the rocks will cry out

And the tears aren't ours alone

Let them fall into the hands that hold us

Come away from where you're hiding

Set aside the lies that you've been living

May this place of rest in the fold of your journey

Bind you to hope

We will never walk alone

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(In the shelter)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(You will never walk alone)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(In Your arms are all around us)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(In Your arms are all around us)

If there is any peace

If there is any war

We must all believe

Our lives are not our own

We all belong

God has given us each other

And we will never walk alone

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(We will never walk alone)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(In the shelter)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(Your arms are all around us)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(In Your arms are all around us)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(In Your arms are all around us)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(In Your arms are all around us)

In the shelter of each other

We will live

We will live

(In the shelter of each other we will never walk alone - never walk alone)

I find shelter, in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear, when I say?
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown, whenever you leave
Please teach me gently, how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans, like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Once in a while you
Be better listening to the fools for a change
I can see it in your eyes, it's the ones not like you
You despise

I'm no different than you, it's just that I do whatever I want to
That's what sets us apart I was free from the start, now your leaving
Tell me whose heart is bleeding

So, once in a while you'd
Be better listening to the fools for a change

What comes around follows and the truth becomes harder to swallow
So, bang, bang they shoot you down
No one says a word as your body hits the ground
Pick her up and put her down
The crowd screams aloud she's not breathing
And the only hands that reaches, is the one alone
You've been cheating my friend
Tell me whose heart is bleeding again

So, once in a while you'll
Be better listening to the fools for a change

Once in a while you'll
Be better listening to the fools...

Years spent out in the rain
Thrown in the mud
Come dry us again
We've got nothing to show
Nowhere to go
Give shelter again

Oh, throats are dry
Let us sing, oh
Bones are cold
Bring us heat, oh
Mountains high
Let us dream, oh
Call us homeward again

I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear, when I say:
I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown, whenever you leave
Please teach me gently, how to breathe

And I'll cross oceans, like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on

Consumed by this greedy disposition
I give no thanks for all that's been given to me
See I'm so concerned with selfish ambition
I see what I want and look past what I need

It's time
To forget myself
It's time
To forget myself

Tell me where to find shelter
Somewhere here
Tell me where to find shelter
Somewhere here

Impatience takes its toll
It's such a hefty fair for me to pay
Indifference takes control
I guess I'll keep that outside at bay

'Cause I don't care
If I ever change
No I don't care
If I ever change

Tell me where to find shelter
Somewhere here
Tell me where to find shelter
Somewhere here

Somewhere here

Tell me where to find shelter
Somewhere here
Tell me where to find shelter
Somewhere here

Tell me where to find shelter
Somewhere here
Tell me where to find shelter
Somewhere here

'Cause I don't care
If I ever change
No I don't care
If I ever change

I guess you don't need it
I guess you don't want me to repeat it
But everything I have to give I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
You tried to stay, but you could not stand it
To see me shut down slow
as though it was an easy thing to do
Listen when
All of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me my love
And I will shelter you
I will shelter you
I left you heartbroken, but not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool out of you
It's hard to believe it
Even as my eyes do see it
The very things that make you live are killing you
Listen when all of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me my love
I will shelter you
Listen when
All of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
Hey you will shelter me my love
I will shelter you
If you shelter me too
I will shelter you
I will shelter you

I watch you from my window working this vicious road
You shudder when the wind blows
Girl you're looking beat and cold
Don't know your situation but you look so alone to me
In my imagination this is how the message reads

Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart

Trust my intuition you're the one I've got to know
I give without condition wouldn't try to save your soul
Money or reputation doesn't mean a thing to me
Special communication it's the only thing we need

Reaching out... Calling out
Just come softly to me
Calling out...
Hear me now
In the shelter of my heat

Reaching out... calling out...
Hear me now... do you read me?
In the shelter of my heart.

[Mid]

Here is no pain to feel
Here is safe for lips unsealed
Just come softly to me
Reaching out
Reaching out for your love babe
Calling out
Calling out for your love
For your love babe
Just come softly to me in the shelter of my heart

I guess you don't need it
I guess you don't want me to repeat it
But everything I have to give, I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
You tried to stay, but you could not stand it
To see me shut down slow as though it was an easy thing to do

Listen, when all of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me, my love
And I will shelter you
I will shelter you

I left you heartbroken
But not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool out of you
It's hard to believe it
Even as my eyes do see it
The very things that make you live are killing you

Listen, when all of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me my love
I will shelter you

Listen, when all of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
Hey, you will shelter me my love
I will shelter you
If you shelter me, too
I will shelter you
I will shelter you

They're crowded into the smallest spaces
While outside, all of nature cries
It's known to be cruel and unfair
But there is no place to hide
Oh, I've seen a part of people that I never really wanted to share

Give them shelter, give them shelter from the coming storm
