Take away all my blues

Fill me with good news

When I'm used and torn

You get me thru

Nothing could thrill me more than

When you're standin' there like before

Stripped clear of defenses

While your secrets unfold

And we're like a river you and I

Like a river we're gonna run



I can depend on this

Handle to hold

You give a piece of your soul

You pick me up when I get too low

You give a piece of your soul



My heart beats, my heart beats like a drum

My heart beats like a drum

When you come

Come give a piece of your soul

And I don't know what would suprise me more

If I saw you standing there like before

While your secrets unfold

When the hard rain's falling on the ground

And the blues start to get you down

I know what to do



CHORUS



Nothing's easy, it's like a storm

You give it all and you give some more like blood

Sometimes it cuts to the bone

You take away all these blues

You fill me up with good news

When I'm bruised and worn

You get me thru



CHORUS



Gimme shelter from the storm

When I'm feeling used and worn

I get renewed

You give a piece of your soul
