	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song in 1988, and at the time I thought it was the best thing I'd ever written. I like the way the straight Am chord moves into the C and resolves 4-1 to the G, and I think the melody, structure and particularly the groove worked okay. I hope you like it. Lyrics SHELTER OF A FRIEND 1. Drivin' to the city on a cold December night I watched you close your eyes, drifting out of sight Rivers of memories flowing, showing in my view As you lay dreaming I dreamed of you We passed through moonlit mountains, music filled the air We sang the miles away, we laughed without a care Warm waves washed over me as you carried me to the sky Did you see me in the corner of your eye? Tell me another story, sing me another song Bring me down so gently, you'll never know I was gone My heart fell so far for you but love would not die It may not last forever, it may be never but I couldn't help but try 2. Now I'm on another journey, soaring high again I'm going out to where the road stops, to where your thoughts begin I'm searching for a rainbow, I don't care about the gold Just give me something to reach for, something to hold So tell me another story, sing me another song Bring me down so gently, you'll never know I was gone My heart fell so far for you but love would not die It may not be forever, it may be never but I just gotta fly 3. Maybe in the future we'll understand the past I'll know if this joy that I feel did or did not last And if I can't hang on any longer it will not disappear This world is always changing, but love is always gonna be here Anyway makes no difference, you're still my journey's end I'll be looking for the shelter of a friend c) Paul Meredith, 1995
