Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  



Shelter from the Rain

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1971 Schroder Music Company, renewed 1999.


Shelter from the rain,
That's all we need,
Pallet on the floor,
Fire on the stone,
All alone,
And not alone anymore.

Any kind of roof,
Just a little room,
Leaves in conversation,
At the blurry pane,
And shelter from the rain.

Shelter from the rain,
That's all we need,
Listen to the storm
Storming at the door,
Me by you,
And not alone anymore.

Any kind of roof,
Just a little room,
Leaves in conversation
At the blurry pane,
And shelter from the rain.
