Lyrics
LIFELINE
Come in out of the weather, he said, before you catch your death
And spend the rest of your time lost in a storm.
Life is filled with the regrets of the chances never born.
Step inside where it’s safe and warm.
I’m a shelter for your heart
I’m home to your next breath
Take this hand of mine
Before you reach the end of your life line
Set yourself at ease with me and look into my eyes and see
It’s not about the risk – it’s about the love you miss
Take time to feel the sun when it’s warm upon your skin
Open up the door and let me in
I’m a shelter for your heart
I’m home to your next breath
Take this hand of mine
Before you reach the end of your life line
But his words send me running away and my heart is filled with stone
The need to survive is strong -- even when it’s wrong
Once there lived a man who tried to make it to the other side and he
Stumbled through the mist where hope and love exist
Sometimes if the wind is right
In the darkest hour of the night I can hear his voice again
It almost pulls me in
I’m a shelter for your heart
I’m home to your next breath
Take this hand of mine
Before you reach the end of your life line
