Gimme Shelter #I Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

Yeah, a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don′t get some shelter
Lord, 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′
At our streets today
Burnin' like a red coal carpet
A mad bull lost its 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

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

Yeah, a storm is threatening
My very life today
A gimme, a gimme shelter
Or 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


I tell 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
It′s just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away
