The Shelter I Need

SHELLY BROWN
Single
RELEASED February 2025

Thank you for supporting and celebrating my music!

This song is about not knowing how to deal with things sometimes.
and hoping time will fix it… But really,
It doesn’t always huh?
Sometimes you gotta walk it out.. talk it out.. walk in the rain…

The funny thing is… How much makeup I put on for that photo…

Lyrics

I reckon if I left this problem out in the rain,
It would sort itself out.
I reckon a little love and light and space,
would fix it right up.
And If I could see the way
through the turmoil in your heart.
I reckon I would help you seek
the shelter you need in my heart.
mmm

I reckon if I needed help,
you would be the last person I’d call.
You never answer your phone
I don’t even think you know how it works.
But if I needed just a walk in the rain,
fix my problems up just by telling you again and again.
Then I think you’d hold me, and I think you’d tell me,
that everything will be alright,
and you might just be wrong,
or maybe youd be right.

Oh you’d hold me, and you’d tell me,
that everything’s gonna fly out the window or the door,
oh everything is just a way to the end,
But maybe you could hold, just a little bit more,

Oh you’d hold me,
and you’d tell me,
that everything will be alright.
and maybe you’d be wrong.

Let’s just build a little house made of sticks,
cover it with moss and fungus,
play with wooden telephones,
make an internet outta hope.
And you’d just hold me,
and tell me everything will be alright.
