Shelter

She came down from the sky when the storm left her broken
 And open and bleeding for me
 And when God sends you gifts, you should use them with pleasure
 And treasure what lands in your reach
 When she woke under covers too cold to be hers
 She had eyes like two torches of fire
 And her nails and her teeth would have helped in her struggle
 If her wounds hadn't rendered her mine
 "You're no captive" I told her
 And I showed her the door
 Which stood open as leaves blew in through
 Cos when people beleive it's their own path they've chosen
 They won't see their cage for the view
 Oh but you know women these days
 They're as fickle as they are immeasuable
 And a man is a man
 When his fate's in his hands
 And his grasp is as hard as it is invisble
 So why do ask if it's greener outside
 When I've showed you the flowers through your window
 And where is the thanks for the promise I made
 To protect you from all that is cold in a hard world
 Well she smiled, I beleive
 And I combed out her hair
 And I prayed that her thoughts would turn grateful
 Then I rang out her blood so she'd know that she's bled
 And be dead if not grateful for rescue
 Oh but you know women these days
 They're as fickle as they are immeasuable
 And a man is a man
 When his fate's in his hands
 And his grasp is as hard as it is invisble
 I've told you we'll go
 And tomorrow will come
 With tomorrows tomorrow in toe
 Let it go, little girl
 There's a hole in the world
 And they'll tear you apart if you go
 I'll tear you apart if you go
 You'll tear me apart if you go
