Shelter Songtext
von Jayne Denham

I can see the tractor scraping circles
Round and round
Sun gives up and finally slips away
Comin′ down
You've done the work of many men with those two hands

Mother nature hangin′ on your shoulder
She's a heavy load
You can feel the season blowing by
You've gotta let it go, let it go

You can let the screen door slam
Come inside and take my hand and
Shelter, shelter me
Let the wind and waters rage
I just need to hear you say you′ll
Shelter, shelter me


I wake to hear you whistle up the kelpies
Before the dawn
I watch you through a kitchen window frame
Battle on
Heart of steel and dust and diesel
Check the dam and keep the whole thing hangin′ by a thread
It'll wear you down, oh it′ll wear you down

You can let the screen door slam
Come inside and take my hand and
Shelter, shelter me
Let the wind and waters rage
I just need to hear you say you'll
Shelter, shelter me
Shelter me

Everything will be OK
They can′t take me and you away so
Shelter, shelter me

You can let the screen door slam
Come inside and take my hand
Let the wind and waters rage
I just need to hear you say
Everything will be alright
As long as you just hold me tight and
Shelter, shelter me
Shelter, shelter me
