Just watched the movie ST VINCENT...Nice film and story... In the end this is heard...Bill Murray headphones on sings it... 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, Ill give you shelter from the storm And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured Ill 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, Ill give you shelter from the storm Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imagining a place where its always safe and warm Come in, she said, Ill 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, Ill 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, Ill give you shelter from the storm Now theres a wall between us, somethin theres been lost I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn Come in, she said, Ill give you shelter from the storm Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters much, its doom alone that counts And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn Come in, she said, Ill give you shelter from the storm Ive heard newborn babies wailin like a mournin 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, Ill give you shelter from the storm In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation an they gave me a lethal dose I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn Come in, she said, Ill give you shelter from the storm Well, Im livin in a foreign country but Im bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razors edge, someday Ill make it mine If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born Come in, she said, Ill give you shelter from the storm Read more: Bob Dylan - Shelter From The Storm Lyrics | MetroLyrics
