Shelter Me

Ever since I can remember
I always tried to do what’s right
«Just keep your chin up boy», they said
Don’t you ever try to back down
You gotta fight to get what’s yours
But sometimes the fight just ain’t there
Shelter me I am one who needs another
I’m a book without a cover
Cover me Shelter me, oh Like a child gently sleeping
Like a mother’s vigil keeping
Shelter me Out on a distant lonely highway
So many miles from anywhere
Gonna lay my trouble down
And I never will return now
I don’t need to look back now
Gotta find where love lies somehow
Shelter me, oh I am one who needs another
I’m a book without a cover
Cover me Shelter me, yeah
Like a child gently sleeping
Like a mother’s vigil keeping
Shelter me, yeah
Hold out my hand, I reach for you
I see your light
And I lay my body down
And you rush over me, rush over me Rush over me Shelter me, yeah
I am one who needs another
I’m a book without a cover
Can you see?
Shelter me Like a child gently sleeping
Like a mother’s vigil keeping
Shelter me Shelter me, yeah
I am one who needs another
I’m a book without a cover
Cover me Shelter me, oh Like a child gently sleeping
Like a mother’s vigil keeping
Shelter me Shelter me Like a mother’s vigil keeping, yeah
Shelter me
