Gimme Shelter Songtext
von The Sisters of Mercy

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don′t get some shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children
It′s just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away, yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweeping me
Down through the streets today
I′m burning like a bright red carpet
Another fool who lost the way


Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away, yeah

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Yeah, or I'm gonna fade away

Love, sisters
It′s just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away

War, children
It′s just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away


Rape, murder
It′s just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It′s just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away

War, children
It's just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
War, children
It′s just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Love, sisters
It′s just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It′s just a shot away
Shot away, shot away

War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It′s just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Rape, murder
It′s just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It′s just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away

Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away, shot away

War, children
It′s just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
