Shelter in the Rain

[Verse 1] The quiet used to fill this room like dust A heavy mantle I grew used to wear I counted years in winters long and grey And built my walls to keep out any air [Pre-Chorus] Then you stepped through the doorway with your light And every shadow began to soften slow The cold unravels in your steady hand A gentle warmth I never thought I'd know [Chorus] You are my shelter after all the storms A quiet harbor where the tide is calm The years of waiting vanish in your gaze My open refuge and my healing balm You are the sanctuary I have sought Where all my restless longing comes to rest [Verse 2] I hear the kettle singing on the stove The simple rhythm of our quiet place The window misted with the evening air I trace the lines of comfort on your face [Pre-Chorus] I used to think that safety was a wall To keep the world from touching where it hurts Now shelter is the softness of your voice The silent promise in your unsaid words [Chorus] You are my shelter after all the storms A quiet harbor where the tide is calm The years of waiting vanish in your gaze My open refuge and my healing balm You are the sanctuary I have sought Where all my restless longing comes to rest [Bridge] Let the rain fall on the roof tonight Let the cold wind circle in the dark Inside these walls, the night is golden bright We keep the fire from a single spark [Chorus] You are my shelter after all the storms A quiet harbor where the tide is calm The years of waiting vanish in your gaze My open refuge and my healing balm You are the sanctuary I have sought Where all my restless longing comes to rest [Outro] Safe in your arms at last The loneliness is past My shelter in the rain Home again
