Take Shelter

In my mind it's all the way things were
 I remember how the family heard
 They told them everything in the house had burned
 And all that's left will slowly fade to the earth
 In my mind it's all the way things were
 I remember how the family heard
 And every night the fearful dreams emerge
 She takes her shelter like a flightless bird
 A life worth living? "I don't know"
 A wolf gone hiding in the snow
 A love worth killing just to show
 Just what it is to let it go
 Just what it is to let him go
 In my mind it's all the way things were
 I remember how the family heard
 They told them everything in the house had burned
 And all that's left will slowly fade to the earth
 She lay down with him there for weeks
 She heard his body start to creak
 And when he turned to her to speak
 That's when he knew his time had peaked
 That's when he knew their time had peaked
 In my mind it's all the way things were
 I remember how the family heard
 They told them everything in the house had burned
 And all that's left will slowly fade to the earth
 In my mind it's all the way things were
 I remember how the family heard
 And every night the fearful dreams emerge
 She takes her shelter like a flightless bird
