Shelter - MJ Cole, Bruno Major, Flava D

You’re burned into my memory

Floating down a neon road

Your head screwed on the wrong way round

Peering down the end of your nose

I put it on plate for you

Said I would wait for you

Bared my soul for all to see

But you flew straight over my shoulder

You were never looking at me

Though you will never be my shelter

From wind, from rain, from ice and snow

From all the things that life can throw

I’ll be your sanctuary

When you’re not there for me

I’ll be your sanctuary

Cause no one else will be

I’ll roll my eyes into my head

So the sallow whites will show

I think I’ll live in here instead

A dream where I can be in control

I can be alone with you

And share a home with you

How it was always meant to be

Oh we’re growing older

Two raindrops lost to the sea

Though you will never be my shelter

From wind, from rain, from ice and snow

From all the things that life can throw

I’ll be your sanctuary

When you’re not there for me

I’ll be your sanctuary

Cause no one else will be

(I'll be your sanctuary)

I’ll be your sanctuary

When you’re not there for me

I’ll be your sanctuary

Cause no one else will be

(Mmm, mmm)
