Living Room Concerts: NORTH COUNTRY'S Colton Ryan Sings a Bob Dylan Tune!

Hi all, my name is Colton Ryan. I was in Girl from the North Country on Broadway

We've been postponed, as you all know. So I've been asked by Broadway World to do a little song in my living room

And so I'm doing a Bob Dylan song in honor of the show

And I'm doing specifically an arrangement of a song that my good friend Bob Joy made up

which I loved, and so I was like, please let me, and he was like, yes, go ahead, and so here you go

You almost fall. No, I just caught him. Here we go. Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood

when blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud

I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form. Come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured, I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word

Yeah, no steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be won

Come in she said I'll give you shelter from the storm Not a word was spoke between us

There was little risk involved. Everything up to that point had been left unresolved

Try imagining a place where it's safe and warm. Come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm

Scroll, scroll, scroll, I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove

And old men with broken teeth stranded without love. Do I understand your question

Then is it hopeless and forlorn? Come in, she said, I'll give you a shelter from the storm

In a little hilltop village They gamble from... Oh, so close! Well, I'm living in a foreign country

But I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razor's edge

Someday I'll make it mine If I only could turn back the clock
