Shelter for an Evening
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Howling like a banshee in the middle of the night
Don't you know it's me at your back door
I'm wounded and scared with no place to go
Won't you give me home for the night
Shelter for an evening, shelter for the rain
Just for tonight, you'll never see me again
I'm wounded, oh baby, cant you see?
I got no one to blame but me
And I know this shit is killin' me
I can't stop, no, I can't stop
And it's getting to the point where I don't care
Just who or what you're sleeping with
I'm wounded and scared with no place to go
Won't you give me home for the night
Shelter for an evening, shelter for the rain
Just for tonight, you'll never see me again
I'm wounded, oh baby, cant you see?
I got no one to blame but me
I got no one to blame but me
I got no one to blame . . . . but me
