Live 29 Jun 1988 version
Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide
Cover me, come and cover me
I need your love, I need your love to cover me
Ohh
One, two, three!
The times are tough now, just getting tougher
This old world is rough, it's just getting rougher
Cover me, come on baby cover me
I'm looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
Promise me baby you won't let them find us
Hold me in your arms, let's let our love blind us
Cover me, come on and cover me
I'm looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more
The whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough, I don't wanna see any more
Cover me, come on and cover me
Yeah, I'm looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
Outside's the rain, the driving snow
I can hear the wild wind blowing
Turn out the light, bolt the door
I ain't going out there no more
The whole world is out there just trying to score
I've seen enough, I don't wanna see any more
Oh come cover me, come on baby, come on baby
Yeah, I'm looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
I said I'm just looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
I said I'm just looking for a lover to come on in and cover me
Come on and cover me baby
I feel a little love right now
I just want a little love right now
I need a little shelter baby
A shelter form that hard rain
I need a little shelter baby
A shelter from the rain
See that storm cloud now baby
And I can feel myself slipping into darkness
I can feel myself slipping into darkness
'Cause now it's just a kiss away, you're just a kiss away
You're just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away
You're just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a shot away, shot away, shot away
Cover me, whoa, cover me
Hmm, I need your love, I need your love to cover me
Hmm, I need your love, I need your love
Whoa
Hmm
Just a shot away
The above lyrics are for live 29 Jun 1988 performance of COVER ME at Stadion Feyenoord in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, during the Tunnel Of Love Express Tour. The song was played in a rearranged full-band version that starts with Patti Scialfa singing two lines from Martha And The Vandellas' NOWHERE TO RUN (the parts in bold) and concludes with a snippet of The Rolling Stones' GIMME SHELTER.
