Dark Shelter

Wayne Webster

DARK SHELTER

Clouds roll in, the sky turns dark as night
I turned to find not a friend in sight
I was alone, looking for shelter again
Dreaming how things could be, after the rain
Somewhere in the night, somewhere in the rain
Something that you might not ever find again
You know I need your dark shelter
You know I need your dark shelter

The door slammed shut and the ceiling shook
Pages were torn from the open book
The tree of desire–– broke in the wind
That blew through the mind of the desperate man
Somewhere in the night, somewhere in the rain
Something that you might not ever find again
You know I need your dark shelter
You know I need your dark shelter

Nothing came together, the room was dark
No one knows whether he hit the mark
But the wheel goes on rolling without an end
That rolls through the mind of the desperate man
Somewhere in the night, somewhere in the rain
Something that you might not ever find again
You know I need your dark shelter
You know I need your dark shelter

Link by link, down the chain
Reaching back to where it all begins again
Lonesome whistle of a long gone train
And it all comes down to the pouring rain
Somewhere in the night, somewhere in the rain
Something that you might not ever find again
You know I need your dark shelter
You know I need your dark shelter
