Jimmy Buffett - In the Shelter lyrics
[Jimmy Buffett - In the Shelter lyrics]
In the shelter in the morning as the
Sun was brightly gleaming
I heard her crying out
"What is it all about?
I just don't know, but I can't go back home"
Lonely princess all the days out on your
Own are growing empty nothing is going well
If you could only tell them how you feel
They're too real to understand
Too many trite expressions
Ending in forced rejections long ago
Too many innocent faces
Too many far out places something's wrong
Let me tell you that something's wrong
It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
On the street car
To the city where she knows that
She might lose it all
Riding for just a dime
Takin' her own sweet time
And knowing well this could be her final fall
Past the boutique
Down the alley to the river
People pass her by
Sit's on the big gray rocks
Takes off her boots and socks
And knowing what she will do next
Just starts to cry
Too many small suggestions
Endin' in angry questions from her dad
Too many TV dinners
And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
No one knows the trials she had
In the shelter in the mornin' as the
Sun was brightly gleaming
I heard her crying out
"What is it all about?
I just don't know, but I can't go back home"
Lord, I just don't know
But I can't go back home
Sun was brightly gleaming
I heard her crying out
"What is it all about?
I just don't know, but I can't go back home"
Lonely princess all the days out on your
Own are growing empty nothing is going well
If you could only tell them how you feel
They're too real to understand
Too many trite expressions
Ending in forced rejections long ago
Too many innocent faces
Too many far out places something's wrong
Let me tell you that something's wrong
It's been that way so long, and it's a shame
On the street car
To the city where she knows that
She might lose it all
Riding for just a dime
Takin' her own sweet time
And knowing well this could be her final fall
Past the boutique
Down the alley to the river
People pass her by
Sit's on the big gray rocks
Takes off her boots and socks
And knowing what she will do next
Just starts to cry
Too many small suggestions
Endin' in angry questions from her dad
Too many TV dinners
And everyone loves a winner, but she was lost
No one knows the trials she had
In the shelter in the mornin' as the
Sun was brightly gleaming
I heard her crying out
"What is it all about?
I just don't know, but I can't go back home"
Lord, I just don't know
But I can't go back home
