Shelter Song - Okkervil River

You know you’d never believe it, good friend

Cold friend, scared animal

And I could barely believe it myself

You’ve got a home

Starving to death

Out by the ocean wall

Shouts in the mist

Scuffling footsteps

I know you think you’re all by yourself

All by yourself

You’re not alone

I thought that nobody loved me at ten

Sad kid, scared animal

A nasty word, and I’m back there again

Can’t let it go

Holding my breath

Up in the church house hall

I had my strength

I had my skin and bones

I thought that I was all by myself

All by myself

But I was wrong

Never alone

And now I’m home

Uh-huh

Uh-huh

(Sad kid, scared animal)

Uh-huh

Take a walk
