Shelter Of Storms Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

You always had the gift of speed; 

You'd disappear without a trace. 

It all depended on the need, 

And on the pain you could not face. 

So you would leave the home you'd found, 

Pack it up without delay. 

Cut your losses, blow that town, 

Tomorrow was another day. 

All the years and all the miles, 

They lost track of time. 

I look back now only once in awhile; 

My memory just wants to blur the lines. 

'Cause you know me, I just can't change. 

I greet the sun, and find it strange 

To watch you run 

For the shelter of storms 

For the shelter of storms. 

Now where are you out in the world 

Searching for a little grace 

Searching for a precious pearl 

Wisdom from some future place. 

You let me go without a wave 

I noticed that and nothing more 

I guess I'm going to my grave 

Wondering what it all was for. 

All the years and all the miles 

It's so hard keeping track of time 

Do you think of me every once in awhile 

When the rain lets up and the sun can shine 

Just a little peace and quiet for a change 

I still greet the sun and find it strange 

To watch you run 

For the shelter of storms 

For the shelter of storms.
