Shelter from the hard rain in the night
shelter from the hard rain by your side
very nearly perfect by your side
I take you in my arms now, hold you tight
Where in the world would we be
without the love you give
how can we live without
without the love you give
Shelter in the hard times of no work
shelter in the hard times and you're there
somebody tie a red rose in your hair
take you in my arms now, take you thereA lonely man on a lonely journey
Bewildering ways he rode
The heavens did not treat him fairly
And the winds did chill him to the bones
Through icy storms and dim-lit moonlight
His search would never end
His hauberk shone brighter than any sun
His sword was adorned with purest of gold
A woollen cloak covered his weary face
A face frostbitten and old
His fearless steed he held most dearly
No beast was ever so bold
It's snow-white mane with lustre shone
And it's hoofs never touched the ground
His deeds in strife he cheerfully remembered
In battle he rejoiced
Never before had he met his match
Many a time strivings he aroused
