Shelter For My Soul

Bernard Fanning


At the end of my days 
When I'm called to go
Into the open arms 
Of the Holy Ghost
To have lived such a life 
As I have known
Oh, fortune follow me 
That I'm afraid no more

For my great mistakes 
I will surely pay
I'm running low 
And the devil is on my trail
When fates delivers me 
All I'll ask it for
Is a place to rest and shelter 
O'er my soul

Oh, if I could spend my days
Free from the prison of your gaze
Then I could die a happy man
Oh, if I could spend my days
Free from the shadow of my name
Then I could die a happy man

And when I am released 
From this mortal load
I'll take my leave 
But I don't wanna go
When fates delivers me 
All I'll ask it for
A place to rest and shelter 
O'er my soul
