I was hoping… would you shelter me from showers?
I believe every word in the candlelight…”

Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again.Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter
Against the wind.”

Which was the first to fade away.”
