    Gimme Shelter lyrics – The Rolling Stones 

    Ooh, a storm is threatening
    My very life today
    If I don′t get some shelter

    Ooh 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 streets today
    Burns like a red coal carpet
    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, 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

    Mmm, a 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
