Get Back To The Shelter

I think I’ll go back home again,

Everyone here has said all they have 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’ve got too many questions without answers,

Lord I’ve gotta clear my mind,

And that lonesome bell keeps ringing,

And this voice in my head keeps singing:

CHORUS:

GET BACK TO THE SHELTER

YOU’VE GOT TO SLOW DOWN FOR A WHILE

YOU’VE BEEN LIVING SO HELTER SKELTER

YET 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 till Schipol 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 I really just don’t care,

Now there’s no sense in you waiting,

‘Cause I’m through with hesitating;

CHORUS:
