talk, talk to me, tell me your secrets

speak, speak the words i need to hear

help to conquer this growing fear

and when the winds of change come blowing through

and all the things i thought i needed

go sailing out of view . . .



shelter, shelter me

when i need someone to turn to

i turn and i lie within

the light of you

shelter, shelter me

when i need somewhere to run to

i run and i hide within

the shelter of you



walk, walk with me through this darkness

teach, teach me to see the light

help me to see beyond this night

and when the sunset hides sea from shore

and all the things i thought i needed

don't mean that much anymore . . .



shelter, shelter me

when i need someone to turn to

i turn and i lie within

the light of you

shelter, shelter me

when i need somewhere to run to

i run and i hide within

the shelter of you



with this darkness all around

tomorrow is hard to see

but i will face this night

if you'll shelter, shelter, me
