Joe Cocker - Rock 'N' Soul

Shelter Me

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
What a wasteland for
Broken dreams and hired guns

Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I'm sinkin' down, or losing ground
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

Shelter me, won't you shelter me
When I'm sinkin' down, or losin' ground
Shelter me
Won't you shelter me
Oh, shelter me
When I lose control or my way home
Shelter me

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

Baby shelter me
Please shelter me
When I'm sinkin' down, or losin' ground
Shelter me

Won't you shelter me
When I lose control
Or my way home
Shelter me

Won't you shelter me
Oh, shelter me
Baby please
Oh, shelter me

Baby shelter me
Please shelter me
When I'm sinkin' down, or losin' ground
Shelter me

Won't you shelter me
When I lose control
Or my way home
Won't you shelter me
