Shelter
Our Daughter Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found the way that I wanted love
Your complexities, I could never dream of
I've been shivering
Shivering for your touch
Now that I feel you
Your fire is all that I want

Heartbeats in sync
I sink into your arms
I'm held here

You are my shelter, shelter
You are my shelter, shelter

It's been a hard year
Laden with lonesome nights
Wondering if I would find
Safe harbor where I could confide

Who was the lighthouse
Who was the storm
Doesn't matter now
We keep each other warm

You are my shelter, shelter
You are my shelter, shelter
You are my shelter, shelter
You are my shelter, shelter

The way you
You hear me, you see me, you know me
The way you
You lift me, shift me, kiss me

You are my shelter, shelter
You are my shelter, shelter
You are my shelter, shelter
You are my shelter, shelter





You are my
