Shelter Me lyrics

This ain't no place for losers

Or the innocent of mind

It's a full time job

For anyone to stay alive

The streets have shallow boundaries

For the war that's everyone

What a wasteland for

Broken dreams and hired guns

Shelter me, baby shelter me

When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground

Shelter me

I've gone to sleep with one eye open

The other rolls my tears

In the darkness I can hide my heart

But none of my fears

In the morning like a soldier

I look closed up battleground

Another day, another [Incomprehensible] me

And the world goes round

Shelter me

Won't you shelter me?

When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground

Shelter me

Won't you shelter me?

Oh, shelter me

When I lose control of my only home

Shelter me

Every time I tumble down

I wanna pack it up and leave this town

But when I finally get the nerve

Get cleared out of the shoes

I'm thanking you, I'm thanking you

Baby shelter me, please shelter me

When I'm sitting like I'm losing ground

Shelter me

Won't you shelter me?

When I lose control of my only home

Shelter me

Won't you shelter me?

Oh, shelter me, baby please

Shelter me

Stay back and shelter me

Come on and shelter me

When I lose control of my only home

Shelter me
