Gimme Shelter Songtext
von Patti Smith

Oh, a storm is threatening my very life today
If I don′t get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it′s just a shot away
It's just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away

Oh, see the fire is sweepin′ our very street today
Burns like a red coal carpet
Mad bull lost his way

War, children, it's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away
War, children, it's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away, yeah-yeah, ah


Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Rape, murder, it′s just a shot away
It′s just a shot away, shot away

Oh, the floods are threatening my very life today
C'mon, gimme shelter
′Cause I'm gonna fade away

War, children, it′s just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It′s just a shot away

I tell you, love, sister, it′s just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It′s just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away

Love, it's just a kiss away
Just a kiss away
Love, oh, love, love, love
Love
Love
