Now maybe, i didn't mean to treat you bad,
but i did it anyway
And now maybe, someone would say your life was sad,
but you lived it anyway
And so maybe, your friends they stand around they watch you crumble,
as you faulter to the ground
And someday , your friends they stand beside as you were flying,
oh you were flying oh so high
But then someday people look at you,
for what they call there own they watch you suffer,
Yeah they hear you calling home
Then someday we can take are time to brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind

Now maybe, i didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
but i did it anyway
Now maybe, some would say you're left with what you had,
but you couldn't share the pain
no, no, no couldn't share the pain they watch you suffer

Now maybe, i could have made my own mistakes,
but i live with what i've known
Yes maybe, we might share in something great
but won't you look at where we've grown,
wont you look at where we've gone
But then someday comes tommorrow holds,
a sense of what i fear for you in my mind,
as you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control,
shame you left my life so soon
you should have told me,
but you left me far behind

Now maybe, i didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
but i did it anyway
Now maybe some would say your left with what had,
but you couldn't share the pain no, no, no

Now maybe, didn't mean to treat you oh so bad,
but i did it anyway
Now maybe, some would say you're left with what you had,
but you couldn't share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
they come and whatch you crumble
to the ground, they watch you suffer,
yeah they hold you down hold you down
Maybe brother, maybe love,
i didn't mean to treat you bad,
but you left me far behind,
left me far behind, left me far behind

Cover me
When I walk alone
Cover me
When my stance it stumbles home
Cover me
We'll trip on through the sands of time
And cover me
'Cause I've been branded
I've lost my mind
Lost my mind
But you'll cover me yeah
Won't you give me shelter from the storm?

Over me
You fade into the night
Over me
You melt into the light
Over me
You will fear the things I need
Over me
You will feel the hate I breed
You're under me
And you will question my authority
You're under me
And you will lose almost everything
You're under me
You will feel the pain I wanna bring you
You're under me
You never change
Never change a fucking thing
Not a, a fucking thing
But you - you'll cover me
Yeah, give me shelter from the storm

Cover me
cover me
Won't you
Cover me
Cover me
Don't you
Cover me
Cover me
Give me shelter from the storm

People push & shove on time
I give it to you
What I have is what is mine I feel it for you
You've got to cover me
You've got to cover me
People take & people steal
I have it for you
What I have is what I fear
I fear it for you
You've got to cover me
'Cause I've been branded a broken man
Broken man
But you'll cover me, yes
Won't you give me

Give me shelter from the storm
Cover me
Cover me
Won't you
Cover me
Cover me
Don't you
Cover me
Cover me
Give me shelter from the storm
