Saturday night and I'm all alone
no ring on the doorbell, no ring on the phone
and nobody wants to know anyone lonely like me

Your boyfriend's good-looking, he's got it all there
looks like God made him with something to spare
you look good together scurrying off down the street

Has he got a friend
Has he got a friend for me

has he got a friend
has he got a friend for me

He's got the haunt of the sea in his eyes
but he wouldn't notice me passing him by
I could be in the gutter
or dangling down from a tree

If he knows someone who's graceful and wise
and won't mind a girl who is clumsy and shy
I wouldn't mind going with someone that I've never seen

Has he got a friend for me
has he got a friend
has he got a friend for me?

At first I was scared when I opened up my head
And the motor that was runnin' was the mind of you
I was scared when I looked at my reflection and the shine I saw were the eyes of you
I was scared when you touched my lips
And the breath I took was a breath that shook me with a shock
Like a flame as eternal as a song and the song is you and I
I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me

Whenever I'm alone and you're lost out there
I can feel you breathe 'cause our lungs we share
Whenever I'm alone anytime anywhere
I can feel your heart beat 'cause our blood we share

I was scared when you came into my room
The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh when you rocked me in your arms
Like a song, a wave on the tide of you and I
I will let you breathe through me
I will let you be with me

My heart beats your blood
Your breath fills my lungs
Your heart beats my blood
My breath fills your lungs

I was scared when you came into my room
The walls became the sea, your voice was the moon
Oh when you rocked me in your arms
Be with me...

I will let you breathe through me
I will let you...
I will let you...
I will let you...

Well all right you gave it all up for a dream
Fate proved unkind
To lock the door and leave no key
You're unsure
Well baby I'm scared too
When the world crushes you

[Chorus]
Let me be you're shelter shelter
From the storm outside
Let me be your shelter shelter
From the endless tide

Disillusion has an edge so sharp
It tears at your soul
And leaves a stain upon your heart
I need you to wash mine clean
You've felt it too
And you need me

[Chorus]

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

Your struggle with darkness has left you blind
I'll light the fire in your eyes

[Chorus]

Let me be your shelter shelter shelter shelter shelter
