Ever since I can remember I always tried to do what's right "Just keep your chin up, boy", they said Don't you ever try to back down You gotta fight to get what's yours But sometimes the fight just ain't there
(chorus) Shelter me, I am one who needs another I'm a book without a cover, cover me Shelter me, like a child gently sleeping Like a mother's vigil keeping, shelter me
Out on a distant lonely highway So many miles from anywhere I'm gonna lay my troubles down And I never will return there I don't need to look back now Gotta find where love lies somehow
(repeat chorus)
Hold out my hand, I reach for you I see your light I lay my body down And you rush over me, rush over me
