Tom Jones Lyrics

"Gimme Shelter" lyrics


Ooo, 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

Ooo, see the fire is sweeping our very street 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. Yeah!

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.

The flood is threatening my very life today.
Give, give me 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.
