The Housemartins
I’ll Be Your Shelter (Just Like a Shelter)
[Verse 1]
In times when your troubles
Seems more than you can afford
And you feel, you feel you'll need a friend
Someone to share the load

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And when your skies go cloudy
I want you to know, got a friend that's true
Just like a shelter, in a time of storm
I'll see you through, that's what I'll do

[Verse 2]
When your dreams are scattered
Just like the wind-blown sand
And you feel, you feel you'll need a friend
I'll be there, reach out your hand

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And when the tempest is raging
I want you to know, got a friend that's true
Just like a shelter, in a time of storm
I'll see you through, that's what I'll do

[Chorus]
I'll see you through your bad times
I'll see you through your fears
I'll see you through your hang ups
Honey, I'll dry all your tears
[Pre-Chorus 2]

[Bridge 1]
I will see you through, I will see you through
I will see you through, I will see you through, let me hear the choir
I will see you through, I will see you through
I will see you through, I will see you through

[Bridge 2]
When my load got heavy, did you see me through
When my load got to hard to bear, did you see me through
What would you do, what would you do (I will see you through, I will see you through)
What would you do, what would you do (I will see you through, I will see you through)

Let me hear you bring it down now
Let me hear you bring it up now
Let me hear you take it higher
Let me hear you take it higher, higher, higher

Just bring it down a little bit, oh yeah, oh yeah...

[Verse 3]
If you're living on the dole and there's no sugar in your bowl
All you need to do is give a little knock
Don't despair, he'll be there with his loving and his care
Marx will work for us right around the clock, he is alright
[Outro] x4
He's alright (he is alright)
He's alright (he is alright)
He's alright (he is alright)
He's alright (he is alright)
