Shelter from the Storm (Live)

[00:00.00]Shelter From The Storm - Bob Dylan
[00:43.27]Twas in another lifetime one of toil and blood
[00:47.46]When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
[00:51.75]I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
[00:56.88]She said “I'll give you shelter from the storm”
[01:19.54]Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved
[01:21.85]Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
[01:27.18]Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
[01:31.85]She said “I'll give you shelter from the storm”
[01:53.28]I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail
[01:57.58]Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
[02:02.19]Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn
[02:06.37]“Come in ” she said “I'll give you shelter from the storm”
[02:28.34]Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
[02:32.33]With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
[02:36.58]She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
[02:41.01]“Come in ” she said “I'll give you shelter from the storm”
[03:02.67]Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
[03:07.16]But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts
[03:11.39]And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn
[03:15.96]“Come in ” she said “I'll give you shelter from the storm”
[03:37.84]In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes
[03:41.77]I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose
[03:46.02]I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
[03:50.35]“Come in ” she said “I'll give you shelter from the storm”
[04:12.88]Well I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
[04:16.69]Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine
[04:21.13]If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
[04:25.24]“Come in ” she said “I'll give you shelter from the storm”
Shelter From The Storm - Bob Dylan
Twas in another lifetime one of toil and blood
