Shelter
Duran Duran (The Wedding Album) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I the shelter of my heart
I watch you from my window, working this vicious road
You shudder when the wind blows,
Girl you're looking beat and cold
Don't know your situation, but you look so alone to me
In my imagination this is how the message reads
(Reaching out for you're love, for you're love babe)
(Reaching out.. Calling out for you're love, for you're love babe)
In the shelter of my heart
Trust my intuition you're the one I've got to know
I give without condition wouldn't try to save you're soul
Money or reputation doesn't mean a thing to me
Special communication it's the only thing we need
Reaching out... Calling out
Just come softly to me
Calling out... Hear me now
In the shelter of my heat
(Reaching out.. calling out for yo're love, for you're love babe)
Calling out... Hear me now
Just come softly to me
(Calling out.. Calling out for you're love babe)
Hear me now... do you read me?
In the shelter of my heart.
Here is no hurt to feel
Here is safe for lips unsealed
In the shelter of my heart
Reaching out, for your love, for your love babe
(Just come softly to me)
Reaching out, calling out for your love, for your love babe
(In the shelter of my heart)
Reaching out... Calling out
Just come softly to me
Calling out... Hear me now
In the shelter of my heat
(Reaching out.. calling out for yo're love, for you're love babe)
Calling out... Hear me now
Just come softly to me
(Calling out.. Calling out for you're love babe)
Hear me now... do you read me?

The lyrics are:
[Verse 1]
I watch you from my window working this vicious road
You shudder when the wind blows
Girl you're looking beat and cold
Don't know your situation but you look so alone to me
In my imagination this is how the message reads

Reaching out, calling out for your love, babe
Just come softly to me
Reaching out, calling out for your love
For your love, babe
In the shelter of my heart

Trust my intuition, you're the one I've got to know
I give without condition, wouldn't try to save your soul
Money or reputation doesn't mean a thing to me

Reaching out... Calling out
Just come softly to me
Calling out... Hear me now
In the shelter of my heart
[Verse 2]

This is one of Duran Duran’s best songs, on their most underrated album “The Wedding Album”. It’s haunting and dark, with amazing vocals and sound. I love playing this song at full blast when I’m driving at night, with the window down. ❤️❤️

@popstudioacademy5425
This should have been the 3rd single would have been a bigger hit then Too Much Info. such a good track.
@ViniciusFigueiredo19
Wouldn't say the album itself is underrated tbh, is the top most listened on Spotify for example
@depecheddurand
They made a comeback when grunge was at its peak.They always survived the test of time along with u2 ,depeche mode and cure.
@sandrak6570
