Lyrics The Sisters of Mercy

The Sisters of Mercy

Gimme Shelter

Oh, see the storm is threatening

My very life today

If I don't get some shelter

Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

Yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweeping

Down through the streets today

Burning like a bright red carpet

Another fool who lost the way

Rape, murder

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

Yeah

Oh, see the storm is threatening

My very life today

Gimme, gimme shelter

Yeah, or I'm gonna fade away

Love, sisters

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Love, sisters

It's just a shot away

Shot away

Shot away

War, children

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

War, children

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away

Kiss away

Rape, murder

It's just a kiss away

It's just a kiss away

Rape, murder

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away

Kiss away

[repeat 2x]

Love, sisters

It's just a shot away

It's just a shot away

Love, sisters

It's just a shot away

Shot away

Shot away

War

Children

It's just a kiss away

Kiss away

Kiss away
