Shelter (southern stream)

(Sheila Blackburn)

Sometimes we need a place to shelter. The storm we hide from may be physical or it may be emotional but a place of refuge is what we need when the frozen winds scream down on us.

A new system's sweeping in
Cold weather warning in the air
Driving from the south and bringing up the snow
Looking at a black horizon

Shredding up the sky like ribbons
Calling out the howling wolf
Frozen needles fill my eyes so I can't look ahead
I need to put this storm behind me

I'm sinking in this southern stream 
I have to find myself some shelter
It's gonna hollow out my bones and chill my soul
No way to hide from this direction

Icy fingers tear my hair 
The words hang frozen on my lips
I'm numb, I need a light to guide me safely home
Give me shelter, let me in.

Open the door and let me in
You could save me from the storm
I know that I'll be safe if I can be with you
Let me share your fire tonight
Open the door and let me in
Let me shelter by your side
No rain and wind can reach me when I'm in your arms
Let me share your fire tonight
