Suddenly I turned around and she was standin there
With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Come in, she said,
Ill give you shelter from the storm.
-- Shelter From the Storm - Blood on the Tracks - 1975
Well others might have their visions of love painted by Leonardo Da Vinci (or Walt Disney), I see in this stanza what I'm looking for in the women of my dreams. She comes out of nowhere but suddenly appears beautiful with silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She removes the pain of the world (the crown of thorns) and gives me shelter where I can always feel save and warm.
