In The Shelter Lyrics

[00:09.27] In the shelter
[00:13.07] In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
[00:22.94] I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
[00:27.17] I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
[00:38.27] Lonely princess
[00:41.59] All the days out on your own are growing empty
[00:47.73] Nothing is going well
[00:55.34] If you could only tell them how you feel
[01:00.09] They're too real to understand
[01:06.66] Too many trite expressions
[01:11.72] Ending in forced rejections long ago
[01:19.17] Too many innocent faces
[01:25.12] Too many far out places something's wrong
[01:25.77] Let me tell you that something's wrong
[01:27.11] It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
[01:42.88] On the street car
[01:46.33] To the city where she knows that she might lose it all
[01:56.56] Riding for just a dime, takin' her own sweet time
[02:02.36] And knowing well this could be her final fall
[02:09.71] Past the boutique
[02:13.69] Down the alley to the river, people pass her by
[02:23.23] Sits on the big gray rocks, takes off her boots and socks
[02:30.63] And knowing what she will do next just starts to cry
[02:37.67] Too many small suggestions
[02:43.62] Endin' in angry questions from her dad
[02:50.83] Too many T.V. dinners
[02:55.35] And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
[03:00.74] No one knows the trials she had
[03:05.90] In the shelter
[03:09.99] In the mornin' as the sun was brightly gleaming
[03:19.60] I heard her crying out, "What is it all about?
[03:26.26] I just don't know, but I can't go back home."
[03:34.07] Lord, I just don't know, but I can't go back home.
[03:57.84]
