When the lights are down And the stage is bare And no more magic's in the air There's not a friend in sight to care Your tears no one will share I'll be your comfort through your pain I'll be your shelter in the rain
When your sad is bad and your bad is worst And there's no who to turn to first When you've done everything you can No one's there to take your hand I'll be you comfort through your pain I'll be your shelter in the rain
When you've looked around And haven't seen me anywhere Though when you were down I lifted you up from there There isn't a thing you can ask of me
I won't do Just you put your trust in me My love will see you through
When the final candle's flickered out "Why me" is all you can think about When all your joy has disappeared Your future isn't clear I'll be you comfort through your pain I'll be your shelter in the rain
When all the odds say there's no chance Amidst the final dance I'll be you comfort through your pain I'll be your shelter in the rain I'll be you comfort through your pain Yes, I'll be your shelter in the rain, rain I'll be your shelter, Be your shelter, be your shelter in the rain
カトリーナが直撃した頃は、彼女は仕事でオースティンにいたため、難を逃れたそうですが、彼女が残してきたもの(資産の意味?)は全て犠牲になってしまったとのことです。
アルバムのタイトルもズバリ「After The Rain」
そして、このアルバムの最後を飾るのが、"Shelter In The Rain"なのですが、この歌を被災者に捧げているのは明らか。
それもエモーショナルな歌い方をせずに、ピアノの伴奏だけで淡々と歌われるところに、思いの深さのようなものを感じます。
