Like a child gently sleeping
Out on a distant lonely highway
And you rush over me, rush over me
Shelter me, yeah
Like a mother's vigil keeping
Shelter me
I'm a book without a cover
I'm a book without a cover
Shelter me, oh
So many miles from anywhere
Like a mother's vigil keeping, yeah
I am one who needs another
I see your light
Shelter me
But sometimes the fight just ain't there
Shelter me, yeah
Gotta find where love lies somehow
"Just keep your chin up boy", they said
I am one who needs another
Shelter me, oh
Cover me
I'm a book without a cover
Like a child gently sleeping
Shelter me
Like a child gently sleeping
I don't need to look back now
And I never will return now
You gotta fight to get what's yours
Can you see?
And I lay my body down
I'm a book without a cover
Cover me
Shelter me
Cover me
Gonna lay my trouble down
Shelter me, yeah
Don't you ever try to back down
Like a mother's vigil keeping
Shelter me, oh
Hold out my hand, I reach for you
Shelter me
Shelter me, yeah
Like a mother's vigil keeping
Like a child gently sleeping
Like a mother's vigil keeping
Rush over me
I am one who needs another
Shelter me
I am one who needs another
