Gimme Shelter (Remastered 2019) Songtext
von The Rolling Stones

Ooh, 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

Ooh, see the fire is sweepin′
Our very street today
Burns like a red coat carpet
Mad bull lost your way


War, children (yeah)
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, yeah, 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

Mm, the flood is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Or 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


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
