shelter lord
Walkin' over the city like a lost train, like a dove. Sufferin' with the shoes that are filled with hatred and no love. Winkin' to a new girl on the poorest neighborhood Soldiers are comin' in but preachers had left as soon as they could So shelter Lord, the boys whose hands are playing So shelter Lord, cause the boys are not the same. They're telling the stories that never should be told They're smoking sad cigarrettes that never should be smoked I open an old book and I try to read it again But the dust over my thoughts had gone to my heart, had blown me as it could So shelter Lord, my heart cause it's been cold So shelter Lord, i got nothin' else to hold And over again I feel the sand falling off of my tired eyes Over again the party's done and the funeral hits the stars Over again we're singing about all the unpleased thoughts of God Over again we're trying to win the war. Dreaming, sometimes awaken, one day nothing will make sense Nowadays I just close my heart at lovers who pretend To love like I am and like I want the world to be But I missed the bus to meet you and the eyes that would make see So shelter Lord, our lives cause we've been bad So shelter Lord, we lost all we've ever had [I challenge you to a fight, you old vampire So please pick up your gun and try to hit me, try to put me down Cause you know my eyes are not quite the same since that old girl left home And this girl, you know her well, she's the reason that we are fighting for] So shelter, Lord. So shelter, Lord. So shelter, Lord. So shelter, cause we're not the same anymore
