[00:00.00]Shelter from the Storm - Bob Dylan
[00:09.82]I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood
[00:13.27]
[00:14.13]When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
[00:18.07]I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
[00:21.91]
[00:22.70]"Come in" she said
[00:24.07]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[00:26.42]
[00:35.63]And if I pass this way again you can rest assured
[00:38.83]
[00:39.99]I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word
[00:43.34]
[00:44.04]In a world of steel-eyed death and men
[00:46.45]Who are fighting to be warm
[00:48.13]"Come in" she said
[00:49.17]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[00:52.20]
[00:57.66]Not a word was spoke between us
[00:59.57]There was little risk involved
[01:01.09]
[01:02.60]Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
[01:04.87]
[01:06.09]Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
[01:10.67]"Come in" she said
[01:11.72]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[01:14.67]
[01:24.41]I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail
[01:27.98]
[01:29.31]Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail
[01:32.09]
[01:33.61]Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn
[01:36.22]
[01:37.69]"Come in" she said
[01:38.83]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[01:41.46]
[01:50.45]Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there
[01:54.22]With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
[01:57.61]
[01:58.48]She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
[02:02.37]
[02:03.00]"Come in" she said
[02:04.03]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[02:06.94]
[02:15.78]Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost
[02:18.94]
[02:19.80]I took too much for granted got my signals crossed
[02:23.15]
[02:23.88]Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
[02:27.69]
[02:28.66]"Come in" she said
[02:29.58]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[02:31.96]
[02:40.62]Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
[02:44.80]But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts
[02:48.65]
[02:49.25]And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn
[02:52.99]
[02:53.65]"Come in" she said
[02:54.55]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[02:57.59]
[03:06.35]I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove
[03:09.77]
[03:10.71]And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
[03:13.94]
[03:14.59]Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn
[03:18.94]"Come in" she said
[03:20.26]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[03:22.88]
[03:31.52]In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
[03:35.64]I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose
[03:39.60]
[03:40.14]I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
[03:44.00]
[03:44.65]"Come in" she said
[03:45.75]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
[03:48.37]
[03:56.83]Well I'm living in a foreign country
[03:58.84]But I'm bound to cross the line
[04:00.41]
[04:01.28]Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
[04:04.42]
[04:05.25]If I could only turn back the clock to
[04:07.75]When God and her were born
[04:09.10]
[04:09.61]"Come in" she said
[04:10.38]"I'll give you shelter from the storm"
