Shelter From The Storm Lyrics - Manfred Mann's Earth Band

'Twas in another lifetime 

One of soil and blood 

When blackness was a virtue 

And the road was full of mud 

I came in from the wilderness 

A creature wild in form 

Come in, she said, I'll give you 

Shelter from the storm 

Not a word was spoken between us 

There was little risk involved 

Everything up to that point 

Had been left unresolved 

Try imagining a place 

Where it's always safe and warm 

Come in, she said, I'll give you 

Shelter from the storm 

The deputy walks on hard nails 

And the preacher rides a mount 

But nothing really matters very much 

It's the doom alone that counts 

And the one-eyed undertaker 

He blows a futile horn 

Come in, she said, I'll give you 

Shelter from the storm
