Shelter For My Soul

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

Fortune follows me, but I'm brave no more

For my great mistakes I will surely pay

I'm running low and the devil is on my trail

When fate delivers me all I'll ask it for

Is a place to rest and shelter for my soul

Oh if I could spend my days

Free from the prison of your gates

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 happy man

When I am released from this mortal load

I'll take my leave but I don't wanna go

When fate delivers me all I'll ask it for

A place to rest and shelter for my soul
