You always had the gift of speed;

You'd disappear without a trace.

It all depended on the need,

And on the pain you could not face.

So you would leave the home you'd found,

Pack it up without delay.

Cut your losses, blow that town,

Tomorrow was another day.



All the years and all the miles,

They lost track of time.

I look back now only once in awhile;

My memory just wants to blur the lines.

'Cause you know me, I just can't change.

I greet the sun, and find it strange

To watch you run

For the shelter of storms

For the shelter of storms.



Now where are you out in the world

Searching for a little grace

Searching for a precious pearl

Wisdom from some future place.

You let me go without a wave

I noticed that and nothing more

I guess I'm going to my grave

Wondering what it all was for.



All the years and all the miles

It's so hard keeping track of time

Do you think of me every once in awhile

When the rain lets up and the sun can shine

Just a little peace and quiet for a change

I still greet the sun and find it strange

To watch you run

For the shelter of storms

For the shelter of storms.



Go back the years, subtract the miles,

And see what's left for you to find

All the battles, all the trials,

You can't be free till you leave behind

Your bitter heart, but you can't change;

You curse the sun, and pray for rain,

You always run

For the shelter of storms,

For the shelter of storms.


Mirror lyrics:

For the shelter of storms.

For the shelter of storms,

You always run

You curse the sun, and pray for rain,

Your bitter heart, but you can't change;

You can't be free till you leave behind

All the battles, all the trials,

And see what's left for you to find

Go back the years, subtract the miles,



For the shelter of storms.

For the shelter of storms

To watch you run

I still greet the sun and find it strange

Just a little peace and quiet for a change

When the rain lets up and the sun can shine

Do you think of me every once in awhile

It's so hard keeping track of time

All the years and all the miles



Wondering what it all was for.

I guess I'm going to my grave

I noticed that and nothing more

You let me go without a wave

Wisdom from some future place.

Searching for a precious pearl

Searching for a little grace

Now where are you out in the world



For the shelter of storms.

For the shelter of storms

To watch you run

I greet the sun, and find it strange

'Cause you know me, I just can't change.

My memory just wants to blur the lines.

I look back now only once in awhile;

They lost track of time.

All the years and all the miles,



Tomorrow was another day.

Cut your losses, blow that town,

Pack it up without delay.

So you would leave the home you'd found,

And on the pain you could not face.

It all depended on the need,

You'd disappear without a trace.

You always had the gift of speed;
