Joe Cocker - Shelter Me Lyrics



Joe Cocker - Shelter Me Lyrics




This ain't no place for losers
Or the innocent of mind
It's a full time job for anyone
To stay alive

The streets are set like boundaries
For a war that's never won
On a wasteland full of broken dreams
And hired guns

[Chorus:]
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I lose control or my way home
Shelter me

I go to sleep with one eye open
The other holds my tears
In the darkness I can hide my heart
But not my fears

In the morning like a soldier
I'll approach the battleground
Another day, another dollar made
And the world goes round

[Chorus:]
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I'm sinkin' down, or losin' ground
Shelter me

Every time I tumble down
I wanna pack it up and leave this town
But when I finally get the nerve
And the lead out of my shoes
I think of you, I think of you

[Chorus out:]
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I lose control or my way home
Shelter me
