Get Back to the Shelter Songtext
von Richard Clapton

I think I′ll go back home again
Everyone here has said all they had to say
Before the snow sets in
Gonna find me a room with a view, lock myself away
And I'll sit there in my room for the whole damn wintertime
I got too many questions without answers, Lord, I gotta clear my mind
And that lonesome bell keeps ringing
And this voice in my head keeps singing

Get back to the shelter
You gotta slow down for a while
You′ve been living so helter-skelter
But somehow losing time


Standing at the airline gate again
With my heart in my hands and I'm watching the endless sky
Look at all the jumbos in the rain
Gonna sleep 'til Schiphol and forget all this fear of flying
I don′t wanna go, babe, but I′ve been going nowhere
And it's getting very close to the point where, you know, I just don′t care
And there's no sense in you waiting
′Cause I'm through with hesitating

Get back to the shelter
You gotta slow down for a while
You′ve been living so helter-skelter
But somehow losing time

Get back to the shelter
You gotta slow down for a while
You've been living so helter-skelter
But somehow losing time

You better get back
You better get back

Get back to the shelter
You gotta slow down for a while
You've been living so helter-skelter
But somehow losing time

Get back to the shelter
You gotta slow down for a while
You′ve been living so helter-skelter
But somehow losing time


You better get back (get back)
You better get back (get back)

Get back to the shelter
You gotta slow down for a while
You′ve been living so helter-skelter
But somehow losing time

You better get back
Get back to the shelter
(Get back to the shelter, get back, whoa-oh)
Get back (to the shelter, get back)
Get back to the shelter

(Get back to the shelter, get back, whoa-oh)
(Get back to the shelter, get back)
(Get back to the shelter, get back, whoa-oh)
(Get back to the shelter, get back) you gotta run, you gotta hide, you gotta run, you gotta hide, you gotta get back
(Get back to the shelter, get back, whoa-oh)
(Get back to the shelter, get back) you gotta run, you gotta hide, you gotta run, you gotta hide, you gotta get back
(Get back to the shelter, get back, whoa-oh)
(Get back to the shelter, get back)
(Get back to the shelter, get back, whoa-oh)
(Get back to the shelter, get back)
