The Shelter Of Storms

You always had the gift of speed

You'd disappear without a trace

It all depended on the need

And on the pain you could not face

So you would leave the home you'd found

Pack it up without delay

Cut your losses, blow that town

And tomorrow was another day

All the years and all the miles

They lost track of time

I look back now only once in a while

My memory just wants to blur the lines

'Cause you know me, I just can't change

I greet the sun, and find it strange

To watch you run

For the shelter of storms

For the shelter of storms

Now where are you out in the world

Searching for a little grace

Searching for a precious pearl

Wisdom from some future place

You let me go without a wave

I noticed that and nothing more

I guess I'm going to my grave

Wondering what it all was for

All the years and all the miles

It's so hard keeping track of time

Do you think of me every once in a while

When the rain lets up and the sun can shine

Just a little peace and quiet for a change

I still greet the sun and find it strange

To watch you run

For the shelter of storms

For the shelter of storms

Go back the years, subtract the miles

And see what's left for you to find

All the battles, all the trials

You can't be free till you leave behind

Your bitter heart, but you can't change

You curse the sun, and pray for rain

And always run

For the shelter of storms

For the shelter of storms
