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 have set a lotta boundaries
For the war that's never won
What a wasteland
For broken dreams and hired guns

Shelter me
Won't you shelter me?
When I'm sinkin' down
Like I'm losing ground
Shelter me

I go to sleep but when I open
The other holes were tears
In the darkness I can hide my heart
But none of my fears

Every the morning like a soldier
I look close up battleground
Another day, another doubt in me
And the world is round

Shelter me,shelter me
When I lose control
Am on my way home
Shelter me


Won't you shelter me?
When I'm sinkin' down
Like I'm losing ground
Shelter me

Everytime time I tumble down
I want to pack it up and leave this town
I finally get the nerve to land out of the shoes
I'm thanking you, I thank you

Won't you shelter me?
Please shelter me
When I'm sinkin' down
And losing ground
Shelter me woman

Baby shelter me
When I lose control
Am I alone?
Shelter me

Baby shelter me
When I'm sinkin' down
Like losing ground
Shelter me
