Merry Clayton - Gimme Shelter lyrics
rate meOoh, the storm is threatening<br />
My very life today<br />
If I don't get me no shelter<br />
I think I'm gonna fade away<br />
<br />
War, children<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
War, children<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
<br />
See the fire sweeping<br />
My very street today<br />
Somebody oughta gimme shelter<br />
Or I think I'm gonna fade away<br />
<br />
War, children<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
War, children<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
<br />
Rape, murder<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a kiss away<br />
Kiss away, kiss me<br />
<br />
Somebody, give me shelter<br />
Give me shelter, somebody<br />
Give me shelter<br />
<br />
The flood is threatening<br />
My very life today<br />
Gimme, why don't you<br />
Gimme some shelter<br />
Or I think I'm gonna fade away<br />
<br />
War, children<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
It's just a shot away<br />
Shot away, shot away<br />
<br />
It's just a kiss away<br />
It's just a kiss away<br />
Kiss, kiss, away...
