Kevin Johnson - Shelter lyrics

We were ships of circumstance together near the shore Sharing sheltered waters when we both had nothing more The things we had in common were the things we knew so well But out on deeper waters who could tell? We would steer on different bearings We would sail on different tides With the width of our horrizons disproportionately wide And the freedoms of direction would lead us on to know we get further from each other as we go Were we only sharing shelter from the rainstorms Were we only sharing space between the walls Was the only thing in common our surroundings Was there nothing much between us after all? I was the home town hero she was the wide eyed girl In a small time situation it was us against the world And the things we had in common were the things we knew so well But out on deeper waters who could tell That the world had much to offer And the world had much to share And the world found much within us both we never knew was there And the freedoms of direction would lead us on to know We get further from each other as we go Were we only sharing shelter from the rainstorms Were we only sharing pride before the fall Was the only thing in common our surroundings Was there nothing much between us after all? We are ships of circumstance together near the shore Sharing sheltered waters when we all have nothing more The things we have in common are the things we know so well But out on deeper waters who can tell Do we steer on different bearings Do we sail on different tides With the width of our horizons disproportionately wide And the freedoms of direction do they lead us to know We get on further from each other as we go Are we only sharing shelter from the rainstorms Are we only sharing space between the walls Is the only thing in common our surroundings Is there nothing much between us after all?
