The Affordable Floors - Shield Me Lyrics

From the Album: Drumming on the Walls (1989)

Water in the wheel wells humming,
Water on the windshield drumming,
The heat in here is busting at the seams,
The road is gleaming.

I pull onto your cobbled lane,
My bright headlights ignite the rain,
The glare spills like a tongue of flame,
I stop before your house again.

I know you may not be alone,
I know there's just a chance to catch you at home.
I'll just wait outside and watch the window,
And see if I'm not welcome at home.

My vision clears with every beat,
I step out on the glassy street,
The water quickly soaks me through my clothes.

Shield me from water.
Shield me from this pouring rain.
I see your shadow etched in light against the window pane.

Water in the wheel wells humming,
Water on the windshield drumming,
The heat in here is busting at the seams ,
The road is gleaming.

A flash and white noise fill the space,
As raindrops spill across my face,
As raindrops wash away all trace,
I know I should be leaving.

I know you may not be alone,
I know there's just a chance to catch you at home.
I'll just wait outside and watch the window,
And see if I'm not welcome at home.

when it falls i'll be cleaner
when it falls you surround me
when it falls the pain's receding
when it falls you'll take me home.

Shield me from water.
Shield me from this pouring rain.
I see your shadow etched in light against the window pane.
