Shelter Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know you'd never believe it, good friend
Cold friend, scared animal
And I could barely believe it myself
You've got a home

[Chorus 1]
Starving to death
Out by the ocean wall
Shouts in the mist
Scuffling footsteps
I know you think you're all by yourself
All by yourself
You're not alone

[Verse 2]
I thought that nobody loved me at ten
Sad kid, scared animal
A nasty word, and I'm back there again
Can't let it go

[Chorus 2]
Holding my breath
Up in the church house hall
I had my strength
I had my skin and bones
I thought that I was all by myself
All by myself

[Outro]
But I was wrong
Never alone
And now I'm home
Uh-huh
Uh-huh
(Sad kid, scared animal)
Uh-huh
Take a walk

[Guitar Solo]
