The Shelter Song

Shelter

When it’s raining outside
And there’s no where to hide
Give me shelter tonight
Oh baby, give me shelter

When I’m cold in the night
And heat breaks the budget
Give me blankets tonight
Oh baby, keep me warm

There are times I cannot lie
My heart won’t beat in time
Save me from myself tonight
oh save me baby, tonight

When I’m hungry and scared
And the coffee is black
Be my flavor tonight
Shield me from the sunlight

And when you just wanna die
I’ll keep you warm in my arms
Be my survivor tonight
Some way, somehow....in the dead of the fight
