Lyrics:
'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm

I’m diagnosed terminal, spending some quiet alone listening to Dylan written before I was old enough to appreciate it then. Im finding some comfort here.
Wow. That’s heavy. I’m so sorry. My mom spent her last days listening to Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez I think she just wanted to feel. I wish you all the love you can fit inside your soul
Peace to you in your meditations
I’m sorry. My daughter had brain surgery this morning on a brain tumor they found this week she has been in icu all week that’s what brought me here
I wish the best for you. Allah seni korusun
You are eternal, my friend. Your strength in your current position is a marvel in itself. Should your time on this plane be limited then may you find your forever home in the next. All my love.
My Dad introduced me to Bob at an age so young i can't even recall. He turmed 70 yesterday. I know you'll never see this comment, but heres to you, Dad.
Sending Love
Best of wishes to your dad ....
The Internet
Same, my dad introduced me to Bob Dylan also ❤
My mother loved Bob Dylan.
❤❤❤ same here
I cant sing a lick but the neighbors hear me sing along with this song!!
Me too!
I love it when Bill Murray sings along to it at the end of that great film, Saint Vincent.
Me too......................Yesterday, I look the Film : Jerry Mcguire - with Tom Cruise.....I play in the Morning.....my Guitar and me.....SHELTER FROM THE STORM .... Have a nice Day, Man.
Dylan says he cannot write like this now and he does not know how he ever found the ability to write these songs. So modest. A living legend.
Drugs and demonic influence.
@joebloggs3298 you sound like a proper cunt.
Yes He Is.
He sold his soul lol easy google search will tell you
Rough and Rowdy Ways from 2021 is an incredible album.
"I offered up my innocence, got repaid with scorn"
I love that line. Brilliant song all around
Wonderful stuff, even as he's hemmed in by his rhyming scheme.
I suspect AI cannot will not be able to repeat this kind of beauty for a while., 1,000,000 monkeys stuff.
But if it can, then that'll be a bit ok.
my dad passed away unexpectedly 10 months ago...Dylan was one of his favorites...used a few of his songs for a tribute video played at his wake...love you daddy
As an alcoholic in recovery and the pain I caused ppl around me. This speaks to me on many levels.
A creature void of form
good luck on your recovery. Don't give up!
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. Reminds me of getting sober. Thanks for your comment.
I feel your pain. I was not an alcoholic, but bipolar. Same thing, causing pain to others.
As an alcoholic not in recovery and doesn't feel bad themselves every single day, shut up and leave your addiction out of it. Never ends..
@@michaelryan2925
Sounds like you do feel quite bad or you may not have listened to this song and commented so harshly.
This is true genius. A timeless classic. This isn't ordinary songwriting, it's poetry in the truest sense.
The Nobel Prize for literature could not have gone to a greater poet of his era.
From a song, no one can put a film of life inside your head like Bob Dylan can.
No, it was dumb to give the Nobel in literature to a songwriter - nepotistic and tunnel visioned. Millions of book writers, past and now, could’ve received it instead of a songwriter. Songwriters have their own awards. It was an insult.
@@samuelackah2210 did they take too much for granted....
Perhaps got their signals crossed....
How FUCKING human of them ...
Dylan deserved it!
@@samuelackah2210 You are entitled to your opinion... misguided though you are.....

Except Tom Waits of course.
St Vincent movie with Bill Murray brought me here...such a great movie
I'm addicted to that Murray singing with this!
Song was a perfect ending to that movie.
Yeah. I’ve seen that as well. It didn’t bring me here because I have known the song nearly forty years. But it’s still a touching film and hence a good movie though.
i lost count of how many of his songs are my favorite
Me too Frank I'm beginning to believe it's most of his songs. 🤗 Donald Woodall
Same❤
Shelter from the storm. Moon shiner, lay lady lay, North country, times they are a changing. 😊amen.
Me too :) favorites ? when it come to bob dylan? what's that? :)
Love the Rolling Thunder Revue version of this much better.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the genius that is Bob Dylan.
Hell, if I get much older ... I'll be dead! But, I've been listening to good ole Bob Zimmerman since '64, or was it '63? Whatever, it was a long time ago, and yeah, he does have a certain genius, and like so many other geniuses, he gets misread and misinterpreted quite a bit. Regarding the album this song is on, it's got to be one of the most poignant collection of sad songs I've ever heard. When this album came out in '75, I'd just been "dumped" by the woman I'd been seeing for quite awhile and this was like an album of theme music for me until I got my emotional self back together again. It's only recently that I can listen to it without slipping into a space filled with sad memories. Now, send me a bill for this "session" and I'll send you a check.
Same. Genius man he is.
Thats how it goes if ur lucky
Yup , same here (58 )
carrizoman hell yeah
This is my favourite Bob Dylan song of all time... well, this and about 50 others
Yes, it's in my top 500.
Good call
Right, right. I feel the same way, my total favorite, until I hear another ( great damn album, though).
exactly!!!!
Join the club!
Cannot remember another song that begins
"twas in another lifetime"
poetry set to music, true genius
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
what follows this line is even more emphatic:
"One of toil and blood"
Great lyric!
A mere mortal cannot come up with these lyrics. God must have inspired Dylan. Such a genius lyricist.
My 32 year old daughter asked me to listen to this song....She said you're my shelter from the storm🙌👏👍🤗❤
That's so sweet 🍬. 🌹
Beautiful story Pamela, what an honor. Very thoughtful and sweet of her. You've done a great job raising her.
@@pamelamckenzie4446 Good for you and your daughter. Ignore that troll, he has no respect for other people and likely none for himself.
I welled up just reading your post. Thanks for sharing.
That's beautiful. My father was mine and he loved this song.
No artist and poet like Dylan ....I'm Libyan studied in the States ...He was my favorite and still ...
i can't believe this song exists, it's absolutely perfect

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB DYLAN 💓💛❤💕💙💗💓💛❤💕💙💗💓
As the Storm continues Bob is still giving us all.. Shelter From The Storm. Thank you Bob!
My dad told me when I was a little boy that Bob Dylan was a wordsmith. I didn't understand what he meant at the time, but I do now. Man, there's no one like Dylan.
Yes, exactly.
There are other wordsmiths in the music world, each of them unique in their own right. They each have their own "voice", a way of turning a phrase, weaving words together, that you just recognize as THEM when you hear the lines. Dylan is the stand-out for me in the 60s.
i enjoyed your comment. thanks.
Your dad is a wise man.
Forever Young...
When Bob's album Blood on the Tracks came out I played it over and over. It was THE best album he ever did. It still plays as good as when it first came out. Every song a wonderful single to be savoured. Bob is now 82 years old and he will surely, " make me lonesome when he goes." I hope he stays around a few more years. As I edit this to change Mr. Dylan's age, over the weekend on 1 September 2023, Jimmy Buffett passed away from a rare form of skin cancer.
Long live mr.bob Dylan Zimmerman. Live long the magician of words. Respect regards sir.
Agreed its also my favorite Dylan Album
I love Bob Dylan greatest writer ever....
Vesper is a leaping yodeling you tube vid...
Cameron McCreary: I smiled when you said "album", memories. I also had it as an album, a cassette and now a CD. Good music lives forever.
Dylan is far more than a mere musician; he is, perhaps the greatest lyrical storyteller.
Agreed dylan and cash are the best ever
The Nobel attests to your assessment.
@@matthewnichols3533 And Kristofferson,
Hes the bard in the us.
but a cunt of a singer tho
This isn't even a song, this is something beyond description, I'm transcended
hi Yeah Brian Ireland Lockdown hell But We will Prevail Gpd Get Rid of it
Twas in another life time. How yah doin my friend?
How he plays with words and paints an incredible picture for the listener....wow.
Are you new to Bob Dylan?
Bertovito. I have been listening to Dylan all my life, but his music has a profound effect, like I’m listening for the first time.
One of the best songs ever written. It is a true raw and visceral song about life, love and redemption.
When my father had died in 1986, this was the song that kept me going. It is amazing how song writers have such a big influence on all our lives, we listen to small and big hit songs but its people like Bob Dylan who really do change and influence our lives. He has to be one of the most positive people in our life.
“When my father died”
Using had doesn’t make it more profound.
My father died when I was 17. I wish I’d had more time with him.
Your so right. The dynamic isn't the song it's the story it silently shares between you and your father who listens through your ears and share a taste of his opinion with yours as one feeling. No one rest in peace when a piece of him is you
I don't know who the one eyed undertaker is but I know the woman in the song is the virgin mary
@@uncatila Dylan has never really explained what the true meaning of this song is, but most people think it was a meditation on his then failing marriage, so the woman in the song isnt the virgin mary its actually his then wife
All we have these days are watered down, and watered down again versions of geniuses.
RIP dad, thanks for introducing me to Bob Dylan’s amazing music….❤
This song brings me so much comfort
One of music’s most beautiful love songs man. Guitar, bass, harmonica - no tricks, no frills, just buckets of sorrow and unparalleled songwriting ability. Dylan was genius.
Buckets of sorrow … Yes.
The best
"I bargained for salvation, and she gave me a lethal dose." His words paint such an emotion.
It's so fuckin beautiful to see comments of people feeling for others regardless of world location..the world needs more of that peaceful days to you all out there
If you are are listening to this in 2021 that means you are an amazing human being 😎😆
My mom introduced me to music, bob was one of many amazing artists she played constantly through out my child hood. Listening to this takes me home to her from the other side of the world.
I spent my youth listening to Bob and rebelling against the world. Now I’m listening in my last years and letting it all float over my head. I like it so much better this time around!
Hi fans, thanks for liking my page and supporting my career may The Lord in his infinite mercy to continue to bless you all. Amen....
@@bobdylan4687 brilliant Bob Dylan loved your songs from the early days but unfortunately the times are a changing
Exactly!
Me too!
I was older then - I'm younger than that now.
We are all terminal. Dylan's music is a requisite for survival. Hang on
Hello Cindy 👋
I love this song. Nobody compares to Bob Dylan! Talk about a genius!
One of the greatest song writers of all time.
Yes. One of the greatest
Probably the greatest. The man is a poet and a prophet.
I unhesitatingly say the greatest. Forget the music and poetry, The meaning is where the eternal lies for everyone to see.
Not one of, simply the greatest.
No... the greatest no one comes close this man is in a league of his own
Bob Dylan is the reason I learned to play the guitar. He's the only artist that can paint such vivid images with his words and music. I'm still seeking shelter from the storm...
......me too....
I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove.
Dylan classics, as with many Van Morrison classics, are, for me, much like great art works. By that I mean they all have an indefinable, intangible 'something' that puts them well above just being great songs. Its not especially the lyrics, not especially the tune, nor the chorus, but they have a magic that goes straight through you and you never tire of experiencing that brilliance.
Joe Cocker also.
Truest words I ever heard
Musicians have it when they're young bands sometime collectively. The first years seem to produce the best raw music.
Truly good music can't be limited to the people you or I will list here, dive deep into the world of truly good music. I am 38 and find new amazing songs/artist everyday and don't be afraid to venture. Music is great in that the more you hear the more you enjoy
@@kylesmicker6534 I like what I like whether it's a month old 10 years or 30 yrs old. If I like a tune I don't care for anyone saying I don't like rock or i don't like indy whatever. Music is music.
this song, is so fucking beautiful
My late husband really admired Bob Dylan, and my husband was quite a man so that says a lot to me in and of itself. He LOVED Bob Dylan. I do too, but now I feel warm but sad when I hear his songs. I want my husband with me and singing along or playing his guitar along with it. Not having him here playing Dylan's songs..........I don't have words how it feels. Others like me will understand. My situation is not unique. He played a lot of Dylan's songs on his Martin. Those are among my favorite times with him. We enjoyed playing and singing Dylan songs and some others minimum 3 times a week. We'd sit across from each other on the sofa, play guitar and singing together! I mean, how awesome is that to do with your hubby!!! So: THANK YOU Bob, for sharing your genius. I don't think there will be another like Dylan, ever. I am also very grateful Bob wrote some of the most amazing music of all time and because of that, along with the music, I have these memories of my husband, that are very dear. It's pretty cool. Peace!
our love of bob connects us all!!
Sorry for your loss I understand very well. Martin guitars & fantastic songs
Great respect you...and God rest your husband.
@@d24010 thank you.
Cherish and nurture those great memories to help keep your husband near you.
To this day...I still can't listen to this song without tearing up.
Me too!
Me neither ! It's cuts SO closely to my own life experience !
lol same here my friend, its very emotional
This song makes me cry every time.
"Blood on the Tracks" has helped me through more hard times than I can count over the decades. I don't know where I would be without it.
"Blood On The Tracks" is truly one of the great albums of all time. Listening to this masterpiece has helped me get through so rough times. Thanks Bob!
B 52s kc 135 130 good old buff loaded sounds bout right to me. Dig that
Agree. Masterpiece. Still brings a beautiful tear to my eyes
His best work ever
Get the Desire album!! Some people thought it should have been a double album.
Im only getting through this Lockdown shit because of Bob Dylan ... Learning from all his songs ... one word ... Genius ... he fucking knew.
Keep doing your homework
I think Dylan is singing about his goddess, the words are about salvation, eyes opened, and the need for pure love. Dylan is my Shelter from the Storm, as he sings the way to live is the good life. I can sing again with him.
Oh! ❤
Been listening to it for almost 50 years and I still hear new things.
I can listen to this song over and over and over never gets old
Also I my friend!!!
And it never will.
i did listen to it and it didn't get old
The more I listen the new I enjoy
Never.
My best friend was my dog - I gave him shelter from the storm and named him Dylan
Mi perro también se llamaba Dylan, lástima que muriera tan joven.
Why was??!!why doesn't say still or is🤔🤔🤔
Perfect, Joe.
@Darth Saban Much love to you.... xx
Awesome. All of my dogs have been rescues and they were pre-named.
I would love to name my dog Dylan, but my current sweetie knows that his name is Copper. He was taken to the shelter when his person died, then to AGAG rescue, then 2 foster homes, then us. I think we are his Shelter from the Storm.
Spot on Paul, his lyrics are transcendent.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns, come in she said i'll give you shelter from the storm. No one but Dylan could drop a line like that mid-song and keep right on singing. No big deal
"If I can only turn back the clock back to when God & her were born." Unbelievable!
quarantine makes me exploring some beautiful thinks on the internet
Beautiful and worthy to listen to
lakouis marouane 🍀
If nothing else the quarantine surely did just that. I have a one year old granddaughter who loves to listen to music with me. So I am always scouring you tube for long forgotten music and anything new I want to know about. I am always looking for things for her, too. It has become one of my favorite things to do with her. we like to read together, too. What a blessing God has given me, first my two sons and now my beautiful baby granddaughter. She's is not here today and now I miss her. They only live right down the street from me.
I found this on a home commercial
Rxmen_Vibez I found it in my home;) as a child. 🍀
Maybe the whole world should listen to this song as everyone needs a little shelter from the storm, especially during these worrying times. Amazing
I agree with you......
So true...🙏
My mom froze to death in a blizzard on February 23...her and my dad always took in people and helped them... from classmates to drug addicts... family to foes..they had the biggest heart and never a lot of money but they would always give what they could...I am sitting here crying...they do not make people like them anymore..
You're absolutely right..... Good morning how are you doing over there hope you're having a wonderful day it's another lovely day that the lord has made
no they don't
Yes they do, they are everywhere. It's your mind that has closed.
There is more... far beyond here. I have lost loved ones, very close to me. This song is about Wisdom, "she" IS the shelter from the storm. God IS Wisdom, He will comfort you. We are here for a short time, in this "foreign country"
"Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm"
2012.. Spent my money over the year living in the UK and was hitch hiking and riding bus through Spain/Portugal, on my own time. I was young, poor and adventurous lol. Heard this song on the night bus from Vigo and just couldn't hold back the tears. I grew up on the Minnesota iron range, where Dylan grew up, and I will always have a close relationship with his music... no matter where I am.
"Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there...with silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair...she walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns..come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm." This is directly from my own life experience after Vietnam. A lovely, generous, understanding young lady saved my life. We lost each other, but I still love her 47 years later. Obviously, I love this song.
Thank you for your service. I still look up to you guys. Great story. Those were the days. They won't come again.
Peace.
Awesome story
same here Crabby
Wonderful story ., x
Glad you made it back. I hope you are whole and well. Thank you for your service.
There are so many “storms” in life. This guy nailed it.
I could play this a thousand times and find something new at every listening. This song gives me great comfort especially in this time of great danger for us all.
What's the great danger?
I harbor a lot of sadness and pain. And I always get this deep feeling when I hear this song. It just washes over me
Thor Might- If you haven’t yet done so, receive Christ as your Savior and he can heal any broken heart.
Peace brother
Not as much pain as me buddy. But we are in this road together we cry, we laugh, we feel alive. That's the whole point of living!
My wish is that you will find peace 🙏🙏🙏❤
Music can have such a healing effect. It’s such a gift....wish you the best.
This song always reminds me of my late father. When I was a kid, he was the one who showed me this song. I was riding with him in his truck. Dylan's the greatest singer/songwriter of all time. No one else compares to what he's done and continues to do.
I too rode with my dad in his van listening to this record both of us dealing with troubles in our lives, like you say great artist and songwriter/storyteller.
🥰🥰🥰😍😍❤❤❤💯
Godspeed to U. . .
He knew the real deal. RIP Pops
GOAT is always subjective, especially when it comes to the arts. For me Townes Van Zandt, while not as prolific as Dylan, must always be in consideration for GOAT.
(Let us face it, Townes was a barely functioning mess, beset by tormenting mental illness, psychiatric abuse that resulted in brain damage and riven by alcoholism and severe drug abuse. He could be considered lucky to have made it to 51)
ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER . NEVER GETS OLD
When my husband was in hospice, we played a lot of Bob Dylan . . . and this song. I think I can listen to it now without breaking down. He passed in 2014.
RIP
Thank you for sharing your dear memory. Bless you and his memory.
Sorry to hear that ! I am glad to can listen to it now,there will never be songs like this again!
My Dad passed away from cancer on June 23rd 2022. I understand. He died at home in hospice care....I understand so much and I'm sorry for your loss as well.
Bless🎉❤❤
Listened to this on my first trip to Mexico in 75. Still remember driving through the Sonoran desert with the full moon shining. The desert glowed as I began my 27 year sojourn as an international gypsy. Eventually came to realize the answers were all waiting for me inside. Still enjoy experiencing different culture, language, landscapes, foods, world views, and so much more. "I'm sailing away my own true love. I'm sailing away in the morning...."
I would love to hear about your life traveling internationally. I tried it for a year and just didn't I have the opportunity to continue as my mother was dying. Good on you
who gives a fuck
Spanish boots of Spanish leather
I'm 19 years old and these types of songs I could listen to all day.
This is the first song my husband played for me in October 1978. We have always said we were each other’s shelter from the storm. Until this year, I never actually heard the verse that says things went bad. I’m glad.
As i lay dying this gives me comfort
"Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Come in, she said I'll give ya shelter from the storm"
peace as we all shelter from this C-19 storm!
Thanks you too!
true
Bob Dylan is probably my favorite person that I don’t know.
I like that! Mine would be myself.. Still working on finding myself.
Same here... Same goes for Jerry Garcia.
I will tell him for you..........oh wait I don't know him either 😉😊
I love how Dylan songs still accept comments...
Well, he is a real asshole in real life. But I say that's part of the charm
İm just 21 and im relaxing here... Bob Dylan what a legend! Thanks for this masterpiece. Love everyone🖤✌️
Fantastic gift from the Fantastic Bob Dylan! God bless everyone from Patrick
The 1st time I heard this song, some skinny junior high kid sang & played it at a lunchtime school "concert". When he was done I became a Dylan addict, just...like...that.
He must have done an excellent rendition! Good stuff. And a memory I'm sure you wont forget.
When my marriage ended this song came on and I broke down. I can never remember crying like that from a song but it just resonated with me at that time
he was going through a divorce when he wrote this album , as well
We all have a song that drives us. It's completely unexplainable. But you just feel it everywhere. Mine is The Weight by the band. Don't know why but, it gives me the best feeling. 💜💜💜💜
Steven Brown my marriage recently ended I did the same the the tone is so beautiful
@@Ac0ustics0ul 'Husband and wife failed, but mother and father didn't.'
Yep. I think this song can only be really understood by a person like you, and me when I heard it years ago. It is about the painful hurt and disappointment in a failed relationship and trust. Notice all the biblical metaphors too, "I offered up my innocence, I got repaid with scorn." It was after this that Dylan got into this Gospel trend, which unfortunately didn't last either. It's too sad really.
Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured
I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word
In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved
Everything up to that point had been left unresolved
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail
Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail
Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Suddenly I turned around and she was standin' there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, I got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on an uneventful morn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Well, the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount
But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts
And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
I've heard newborn babies wailin' like a mournin' dove
And old men with broken teeth stranded without love
Do I understand your question, man, is it hopeless and forlorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation and she gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence I got repaid with scorn
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
Well, I'm livin' in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line
Beauty walks a razor's edge, someday I'll make it mine
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Come in, she said
I'll give ya shelter from the storm
long-forgotten morn
I like how his voice changes in this song.
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here.
Nobel prize winner song writer poet and lyrical savant. Bob Dylan is a genius without equal.
Yea he was great and all, but Leonard Cohen was a lot more a poet than him and would have earned a prize like that even more.
Well said.. what a story teller.
“Try imagining a place where its always safe and warm.”
I can. Its called Blood On The Tracks

I believe when we are struggling I we do our most on point creativity❤
This song is a true masterpiece
"She walked up to me so gracefully
and took my crown of thorns."
Come in she said. I'll give you shelter from the storm.

best verse for sure
The most underrated dylan sing in my opinion. The lyrics are just wondeful
I never really got the Dylan vibe ... and then it suddenly clicked a few years ago (probably a sign that I'd finally emotionally matured) and now he can move me from dancing to tears in the space of 2 tracks.
Genius doesn't do him justice.
I'm not even a Bob Dylan fan but even I recognize genius. fookin great song no doubt.
PhukIT1865 the man is a poet
you are either a fan or you are ignorant
Probably the best and most influencial lyricist of his time
This entire Album is to me. Bob Dylan's Masterpiece.
Desire too
Agree wholeheartedly...

Thank you. All the best from Bavaria.
Living legend my parent’s generation but I think I love this more then they did
I remember seeing Dylan at the spectrum in Philly in the 70's. To me he was larger then life at the time. After the Band played some great music , it got all quiet and dark then 1 spot light came on and there he was. People were crying in the audience . I did not hear 1 person sing along . We were all shocked to see him in person. This little guy on stage in a cowboy hat was Bob Dylan . it's one of the most surreal nights of my life. A true American genius
Good memories thank you for sharing
You say that and yet if you didn't know better, he could be a minstrel from medieval England, lampooning the king and the local squire; he comes from that kind of vein.
Medieval England was full of those characters; Bob represents something from our distant past.
I was there - yes it was surreal and wonderful
Always loved Dylan…even named my son after him. ❤️
Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Oh man! TY for this man oh man awesome treasure! 😍
My favorite Seinfeld joke is about a date who said she didn't like music, "don't like music?!...uhm..hmm, do you like colors?"
Dylan's songs will always have a special place in my ❤️

Hello dear, it’s nice meeting you on here
Esta canción me hace llorar, vivo en casa de mi abuelita desde los 16 años por problemas con las respectivas parejas de mis padres, estuve a punto de vivir en la calle y mi abuelita, como el ángel que es me dió un refugio para la tormenta que era mi vida, siempre le estaré agradecido por eso.
Tu abuelita es tu '' Shelter from the Storm ''. Me alegro por tenerla
Honra a tu abuelita con cada acto de tu vida... Ella es un refugio para la tormenta y sobre todo diría que hasta un oráculo de sabiduría...
I love you BOB. I'm 34 and I love this beautiful chaos poem

My favorite Dylan album. Got me through driving 35 miles each way through 3 years of law school in the late 70s/early 80s
law school 79-82!!
@@frankprio4490 '78 to ' 81 for me
I only went to law school for three months and dropped out. The government wanted me worse. I was drafted into the Marines. When I got back, I wasn't to fit for law school. I never went back. Coming back wasn't the problem, it was how people looked at you and treated you. A few hated us but I think most just didn't know what to say to us. USMC Sept 1969- Sept 1971
And I think most of the politicians were happy to let us returning vets take the heat for their incompetence and failure.
