"Pale Shelter" is a song by the British band Tears for Fears.
Written by Roland Orzabal and sung by bassist Curt Smith, it was originally the band's second single release in early 1982, but it would not see chart success until a reissue (with a different recording) the following year. It eventually became the third UK Top 5 chart hit taken from their debut LP The Hurting (1983), peaking at number 5. As with the previous two singles, the song also reached the Top 40 in several other countries
Origin and production
Along with "Suffer the Children", "Pale Shelter" was one of two demo songs that landed Tears for Fears their first record deal with Phonogram in 1981. The song began life as a sequence of two chords that Orzabal had been repeatedly playing on acoustic guitar for weeks. The rest of the music and lyrics were eventually written in a single morning's time. The original demo of the song was recorded at musician Ian Stanley's home studio in Bath, after a chance meeting led to a working relationship with the duo.

Pale Shelter Lyrics - Tears for Fears
One of the earliest (and my favourite) songs of the 80s DuoTears for Fears from their first album (The Hurting). It is written by Roland Orzabal and sang by Curt Smith, the founders of TFF. Pale Shelter, as most of their earlier songs, were mostly about their childhood and bitter experience thereof.
"It's a kind of a love song, though more referring to one's parents than to a girl." —Roland Orzabal

Lyrics in the description.
How can I be sure?
When your intrusion is my illusion
How can I be sure
When all the time you changed my mind
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
How can I be sure
For all you say you keep me waiting
How can I be sure
When all you do is see me through
I asked for more and more
How can I be sure
When you don't give me love (You gave me pale shelter)
You don't give me love (you give me cold hands)
And I can't operate on this failure
When all I want to be is
Completely in command
I've been here before
There is no why, no ne...
