"Shelter" lyrics

"Shelter"

If the sky starts to fall
When you're up against the wall
And the doors fill with sand and mortar
Do you leave? Can you stay?
It's all you've got left anyway
You just need shelter
You just need shelter

Running wild through the woods
You'd be flying if you could
There's a stone in the path before you
Whether gravity or ground
There's blame to go around
You cried out for shelter
You cried out for shelter

Talking soft, walking slow
Where the silver river flows
And the wolves howl across the border
Stars and lines light the way
Your mother showed you yesterday
Hoping for shelter
Hoping for shelter

Charcoal gray, navy blue
And a belt to match your shoes
From the street to the highest tower
First a drop, then it pours
And you're looking for a door
You just need some shelter
You just need shelter

You just need some shelter
You just need shelter
