Lyrics
1st Verse: Have you seen how Adalene sleeps? Bundled in blankets and dreams tattered It’s amazing that she sleeps at all So close to the claws of the world pulling her down Pre-Chorus: The streetlight parade keeps it’s so terribly loud Threatens to pull her away from shelter Choruse: Shelter don’t pull her away from shelter Shelter don’t pull her away from shelter 2nd Verse: Have you heard how Adalene speaks? Wise beyond years and hopeful beyond measure She carries the scars of angels Proudly displays where the world left its mark on her skin Pre-Chorus: The streetlight parade it’s no merry-go-round Spins us around and away from shelter Chorus: Shelter don’t pull her away from shelter Break: Adalene-Adalene hold on Adalene-Adalene… Bridge: Oh say can you see the stars Adalene How they burn for you now They shine bright for you now They come alive for you now 3rd Verse: The streetlight parade keeps her twisting around From seeing the truth she’s turned away (Repeat Chorus) Shelter don’t pull her away from shelter Shelter don’t pull her away from shelter
