Benny Allen - Shelter from the Rain
текст песни

She's sitting on her overcoat, by her mother's grave,
Hasn't seen her for seven years, since she ran away.
Doesn't know her, she used to drink a lot,
But still she sits there crying, in the rain.

Now Jimmy got into town, about a half an hour ago,
Just him, a suitcase, and a beaten old guitar.
He doesn't know her, he used to drink a lot.
But he pauses at the cemetery, for reasons he don't know.

And nothing seems to change,
We all know hearts are strange,
And while the memory remains,
Love can ease the pain,
And bring shelter from the rain.
It brings shelter from the rain,
It brings shelter from the rain.

Now Jo ran away from home, when she was sixteen,
Got a job, as a call girl, in a downtown hotel.
She didn't like it, she used to cry a lot,
But all Jo really needed to find, was shelter from the rain.

And nothing seems to change,
We all know hearts are strange,
And while the memory remains,
Love can ease the pain,
And bring shelter from the rain.
It brings shelter from the rain,
It brings shelter from the rain.

Well Jimmy he sees Jo, can tell she's crying,
He used to have a job and a wife, and a little baby boy.
He said I'm like you, you know I've lost a lot,
Then found that all I really need, is shelter from the rain.

And nothing seems to change,
We all know hearts are strange,
And while the memory remains,
Love can ease the pain,
And bring shelter from the rain.
It brings shelter from the rain,
It brings shelter from the rain.
