Shelter Me

Whose sticky hands are these?
And what is this empty place?
I could be happily lost but for your face

Here stands an empty house
That used to be full of life
Now it's home for no one and his wife

Who can take your place? (your place)
I can't face another day
Who will shelter me? (shelter me)
It's cold in here
Cover me

Under these fingertips a strange body rolls and dips
I close my eyes and you're here again

Later as day descends
I shout from my window to anyone listening
"I'm loosing"

Who can take your place?
I can't face another day
Who will shelter me? (shelter me)
It's cold in here
Cover me

Oh in a plague of hateful questioning
Lap dancing every syllable from ear to ear
I hear the din of lovers jousting
When I'm hiding with my head to the wall

Who can take your place? (your place)
I can't face another day
Who will shelter me? (shelter me)
It's cold in here
Cover me

Who can take your place? (your place)
I can't face another day
Who will shelter me? (shelter me)
It's cold in here
Cover me
