Shelter Me

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 never won

What a wasteland for broken dreams and hired guns

Shelter me

Baby, shelter me

When I'm sick and down, losing ground

Shelter me

I go to sleep

With one eye open

The other holds my tears

In the darkness, I can hide my heart

But not my fears

In the morning

Like a soldier

I'll approach the battleground

Another day

Another dollar for me

And the world goes round

Shelter me

Won't you shelter me

When I'm sick and down, losing ground

Shelter me

Oh, please shelter me

Oh, shelter me

When I lose control of my only home

Shelter me

Every time I tumble down

I want to pack it up

And leave this town

But when I finally get the nerve

Get the lead out of my shoes

I'm thanking you

I'll thank you

Baby, shelter me

Please shelter me

When I'm sick and down, losing ground

Get to 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

Baby, shelter me

Please shelter me

When I'm sick and down, losing ground

Get to me

Won't you shelter me

When I lose control of my only home

Shelter me
