Shelter Lord Songtext

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
kgk indfsng?kkdm
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.
