Lock the door behind you when you go
Out on your way to face the world alone
I'll have another coffee, pick up my guitar
Write a little song to say I love you
All night long we held each other close
A way to hide away from all the noise
Problems that we're facing are the ordinary kind
Somehow they all work out in time
But oh don't it make you wonder
How anyone can make it alone
Cause oh when you hear the thunder
It's good to have a safe place
And someone you can hold
A shelter island
My shelter island
Safety in the storm
Snuggled up and warm
Shelter Island
These days there's a smile inside my heart
Cause anywhere I go is where you are
A simple way of living is a pleasure for me now
Tonight I know where I'll be lying down
But oh don't it make you wonder
How anyone can make it alone
Cause oh when you hear the thunder
It's good to have a safe place
And someone you can hold
A shelter island
My shelter island
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Safety in the storm
Snuggled up and warm
Shelter Island
Tucked underneath the sheets
We've got everything we need
Shelter Island
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh ahh
