Blood On The Tracks session 2, A & R Studios, NYC - 17.sep.1974, take 2 'T was in another lifetime, one of toil an' blood When blackness was a virtue an' the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." An' if i pass this way again, you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her, on that i give my word In a world of steel-eyed death an' men who are fightin' to be warm "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imaginin' a place where it's always safe an' warm "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Suddenly i turned around an' she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrist an' flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully an' took my crown of thorns "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost I took too much from granted, i got my signals crossed Just to think that it all began on a non-eventful morn "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well the deputy walks on hard nails an' the preacher rides a mount But nothin' really matters much, it's doom alone that counts An' the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mornin' dove An' old men with broken teeth stranded without love Do i understand your question man, is it hopeless and forlorn? "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose I offered up my innocence, i got repaid with scorn "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." Well i'm livin' in a foreign country, but i'm bound across the line Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday i'll make it mine If i could only turn back the clock to when god an' her were born "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm." |

Blood On The Tracks session 2, A & R Studios, NYC - 17.sep.1974, take 1, Jerry McGuire soundtrack 'T was in another lifetime, one of toil an' blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I come in from the wilderness, a creature void of form "Come in", she said, "I'll give ya shelter from the storm." If i pass this way again, you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her, on that i give my word In a world of steel-eyed death an' men who are fightin' to be warm "Come in", she said, "I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Suddenly i turned around an' she was standin' there With silver bracelets on her wrist an' flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully an' took my crown of thorns "Come in", she said, "I'll give ya shelter from the storm." Now the bonds are broken but they can be retied For one more journey to the woods, the holes where spirits hide It's a never endin' battle for a peace that's always torn "Come in," she said "I'll give ya shelter from the storm." Well the deputy walks on hard nails an' the preacher rides a mount But nothin' really matters much, it's doom alone that counts An' the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn "Come in", she said, "I'll give ya shelter from the storm." Well i've heard newborn babies cryin' like a mornin' dove An' old men with broken teeth stranded without love Do i understand your question man, is it hopeless and forlorn?
