Joe Cocker - Shelter Me lyrics

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 On a wasteland full of broken dreams And hired guns [Chorus:] Shelter me, baby shelter me When I lose control or my way home 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 [Chorus:] Shelter me, baby shelter me When I'm sinkin' down, or losin' ground Shelter me Every time I tumble down I wanna pack it up and leave this town But when I finally get the nerve And the lead out of my shoes I think of you, I think of you [Chorus out:] Shelter me, baby shelter me When I lose control or my way home Shelter me
