'Twas in another lifetime
|
One of soil and blood
|
When blackness was a virtue
|
And the road was full of mud
|
I came in from the wilderness
|
A creature wild in form
|
Come in, she said, I'll give you
|
Shelter from the storm
|
Not a word was spoken between us
|
There was little risk involved
|
Everything up to that point
|
Had been left unresolved
|
Try imagining a place
|
Where it's always safe and warm
|
Come in, she said, I'll give you
|
Shelter from the storm
|
The deputy walks on hard nails
|
And the preacher rides a mount
|
But nothing really matters very much
|
It's the doom alone that counts
|
And the one-eyed undertaker
|
He blows a futile horn
|
Come in, she said, I'll give you
|
Shelter from the storm
|
