Jerry MaGuire movie - Shelter from the Storm [Alternate Version] lyrics

rate me

Song by Bob Dylan<br /><br>

It was in another lifetime, one of toil and blood<br>

When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud<br>

I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured<br>

I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word<br>

In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved<br>

Everything up to that point had been left unresolved.<br>

Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,<br>

Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,<br>

Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there<br>

With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.<br>

She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

Now the bounds are broken and they can't be retired<br>

A one more journey to the woods, the hole were spirit tired<br>

It's a never ending battle, for a peace that's always torn<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount<br>

But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts<br>

And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove<br>

And old men with broken teeth stranded without love.<br>

Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn?<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost<br>

I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed.<br>

Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes<br>

I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose.<br>

I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>

<br>

Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line<br>

Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine.<br>

If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born.<br>

"Come in," she said,<br>

"I'll give you shelter from the storm."<br>
