Stone kicks off his debut album with a lighthearted acoustic love song, dropping in a simile of his lover as a “safe place” that offsets all the turbulence in his life.
[Verse 1]
I've been sleeping in these hotel beds
And I can't find no, no damn rest
And I just need a place to rest my head
And I always find second best
[Chorus - x2]
She will be my shelter
I knew it once I felt her
[Verse 2]
And I ain't got any more energy
And I can't find no, no damn release
And I turned triumph into tragedy
And I can't find no, no damn release
[Chorus - x2]
[Bridge]
Yeah, that she's gonna be my shelter
I just knew it once I felt her
Yeah, that she's gonna be my shelter
[Chorus - x2]
[Hook]
Allen Stone released Shelter on Tue Sep 29 2009.
