I pulled into Nazareth
Was feeling 'bout half past dead
I just need some place
Where I can lay my head"Hey, Mister, can you tell me
where a man might find a bed?"
He just grinned and s my hand
"No" was all he said

Take a load off Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny
And you put the load right on meI picked up my bag
I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw old Carmen
And the devil walking side by sideI said, "Hey, Carmen,
Come on, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go
But my friend can stick around"

Go down, miss Moses
There's nothing you can say
It's just old Luke and Luke's waiting
on the judgement day"Well, Luke, my friend,
what about young Anna Lee?"
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you
stay and keep Anna Lee company?"

Crazy Chester followed me
And he caught me in the fog
Said, "I will fix your rack,
if you'll take Jack, my dog"I said, "Wait a minute Chester,
you know I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's OK, boy,
won't you feed him when you can"

Catch a Cannonball now
to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low
And I do believe it's timeTo get back to miss Fanny
You know she's the only one
Who sent me here
with her regards for everyone


해석..나사렛으로 들어 갔을 때
난 거의 녹초가 되어 있었어
내게는 그저 몸을 눕힐
자리가 필요했지"이봐요, 하룻밤 묵을 곳이
어디 있는지 좀 알려 주겠소?"
그는 씨익 웃으며 악수를 하더니
싫다는 말만 했어
패니의 짐을 덜어 줘요
그냥 도와 주는 거에요
패니의 짐을 덜어 줘요
그 짐을 내게 얹어요나는 짐을 집어 들고
묵을 곳을 찾아 떠났는데
그 때 카르멘을 보았어
그 옆에는 악마가 나란히 걷고 있었지"이봐요, 카르멘
나랑 시내에 가지 않을래요?"
"나는 갈 데가 있는데. 하지만
내 옆에 있는 친구는 가 줄 수 있어"


Moses양, 내려가 봐도
보이는 건 아무 것도 없어요
심판의 날을 기다리는
늙은 Luke가 있을 뿐이죠"Luke, 이 친구야
Anna Lee는 잘 있어?
"부탁 하나 할께
Anna Lee 곁에 있어주지 않으련?"


정신 나간 Chester가 따라와서
안개 속에서 날 붙잡고 말했어
"내 강아지 Jack을 데려가 주면
내가 자네 선반을 고쳐 줄께""잠깐만, Chester
좋게 해결하지"
"됐네, 이 사람아
틈 나면 개밥이나 주도록 해"

When it's darkness on the delta
That's the time my heart is light
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night

Fields of cotton all around me
Darkies singin' sweet and low
Lord, I'm lucky that you found me
Where the muddy Mississippi waters flow

Lounging on the levee
Listenin' to the nightingales way up above
Laughter on the levee
No one's heart is heavy

All God's children got someone to love
When it's darkness on the delta
Only heaven is in sight
When it's darkness on the delta
Let me linger in the shelter of the night

Yesterday's news is tomorrow's blues...
But today I am alive (I am alive)
Today I did much more than survive

I learned to live by the love I give
It's the only thing I own
Shadowed valleys that I've known helped me build my home

So tell me why?
Why should I be afraid? (Why should you be afraid?)
We've seen better, we've seen darker days
So tell me why?
Why should I be afraid? (Why should you be so afraid?)
Sittin' here watching just another parade

...Just another parade...

Summer will end, then the death begins
Grandma's hands are moving slow
She takes the time to let me know winter's winds will blow
Will blow...

She said look at your sun, he's a golden one...
Makes you turn your pages slow
Is life more precious than we know?
Every day unfolds (every day)

So tell me why?
Why should I be afraid? (Why should you be so afraid?)
I've seen brighter, seen darker days
So tell me why?
Why should I be afraid? (Why should I be so afraid?)
Sittin' here watching... it's just another parade

Just another parade... just another parade.. just another parade

So tell me why
Why are you so afraid?
Why should I be afraid?
When you know we've seen brighter, we'veseen darker days
So tell me why: why should I be afraid? Why should you be afraid?
Sittin' here watchin.. it's just another parade
Tell me why should I be afraid?
I've seen better.. I've seen darker days
Tell me why.. why should I be afraid?
Sittin here watchin... it's just another parade

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you 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 you 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 you 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 you 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 you shelter from the storm"

Now there's a wall between us, somethin' there's been lost
I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed
Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you 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 you 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 you shelter from the storm"

In a little hilltop village, they gambled for my clothes
I bargained for salvation an' they gave me a lethal dose
I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn
"Come in," she said, "I'll give you 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 you shelter from the storm"
