Kentucky-based singer-songwriter, Brooks Ritter’s released the Ghosts Come Alive EP in 2021.
"Brooks Ritter's owns a great instrument—a voice that draws from reservoirs of soul and feeling. On his latest EP, Ritter bends that voice in the direction of songs that are, by turns, bold and vulnerable." - Aarik Danielsen
Cover Me is a song from the EP.
The lyrics of this song are words of prayers. A plea for shelter, comfort and surrender. Brooks acknowledge how lonely he felt without God's presence in his life.
He narrates how it feels to lose the cover of God and of course talks about the blessings in the shelter of God.
Brooks Ritter - Cover Me Lyrics
Cover me
Cover me
Oh cover me girl
Cover me
Cover me
Oh cover me girl
I think I lost you once when the fire came
I think I lost you in the heat of the flames
In the blur of a moment
How much did I really say
There was something in those tears i saw you cry
How you saw through every protest every lie
In the blur of a moment
I’d relent and step outside
Cover me
Cover me
Oh cover me girl
Cover me
Cover me
Oh cover me girl
From the outside looking in
The smoke had gotten thick
The walls were peeling back in the heat
We build and tear it down
But no one makes a sound
Just the wounds of words that fell in the heat ... over me
I think I lost you once when the fire came
I think I lost you in the heat of the flames
In the blur of a moment
How much did I really say
