Cover Me Lyrics


Cover me when I walk alone
Cover me when my stance it stumbles homes
Cover me, we'll trip on through the sands of time
Cover me cause I've been brandedI've lost my mind
Lost my mind
But you'll cover me
Won't you give me shelter from the storm?And over me you fade into the night
And over me you melt into the light
And over me you will fear the things I need
And over me you will feel the hate I breedYou're under me and you will question my authority
You're under me and you will lose almost everything now
You're under me, you will feel the pain I wanna bring you
You're under me, you never changeYou never change a fucking thing
Not a fucking thing
But you'll, you'll cover me
And give me shelter from the stormCover me, cover me
Won't you cover me, cover me?
Don't you cover me, cover me?

Give me shelter from the stormOh yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no
People push and shove on time, I give it to you
What I have is what is mine, I feel it for you
You've got to cover me, you've got to cover mePeople take and people steal, I have it for you
What I have is what I fear, I fear it for you
You've got to cover me
'Cause I've been branded a broken man, broken man
But you'll cover me yeah, won't you?
Give me shelter from the stormCover me, cover me
Won't you cover me, cover me?
Don't you cover me, cover me?
Give me shelter from the storm

Candlebox is a rock band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in December 1991, they originally named the band Uncle Duke and later changed it as a tribute to a song by Midnight Oil. They were sometimes looked down upon by grunge fans for their style, which was considered by many to be a derivative version of true grunge, and their commercial success suffered as a result. Despite this, the band played the Seattle club circuit during the early 1990s to the many of the same fans who had supported many of the bands that had come immediately before them. The members did not consider Candlebox to be a grunge band however; they viewed themselves as a rock and roll band more than anything. Nevertheless, Candlebox had sold more than 4 million copies of their self-titled debut which, after many months of gaining momentum, peaked at number 7 on Billboard's album charts. Their follow up album, Lucy, was certified as platinum. Their third and last album was Happy Pills, which was released in 1998. Candlebox was the first successful act on Madonna's Maverick Records, which went on to sign Alanis Morissette, Deftones, and Prodigy.

Candlebox was known for an explosive live show and throughout their 8 year career, they toured with such bands as Living Colour, The Flaming Lips, Our Lady Peace, Rush, Henry Rollins, and Metallica. They were also a featured band on the main-stage at Woodstock '94 and made repeat live performances on the David Letterman show.

They are best known for the singles "Change", "You", "Far Behind" and "Simple Lessons". "Far Behind" entered Billboard's Top 20 in July of 1993 and didn't drop off the charts until January of 1994. The videos for "Far Behind" and "You" were in seemingly perpetual rotation on MTV and became two of the most requested videos of 1993.

Drummer Scott Mercado left the band in 1997 and was replaced by former Pearl Jam member Dave Krusen. Krusen later left the band in 1999 and was replaced by Shannon Larkin of Ugly Kid Joe. Bardi Martin also left the band that year, and was replaced by Rob Reddick (formerly of Dig). The band split in year 2000.

As of 2005, singer Kevin Martin is currently recording and performing as the leader of The Hiwatts. Peter Klett is currently recording and performing as the leader of redlightmusic.

In 2006, Candlebox has reunited with their original line-up. They went on a three-month North American tour beginning on July 1st of the same year. This marks their first collaboration since 1996.

In 2008, Candlebox released their fourth studio album called "Into the sun". This meant their return since 1998's Happy Pills. Also, they released a Live album called "Alive in Seattle" which includes tracks from all their past albums.
