There's no one else could ever hold me like you do
There's nowhere else that I'd rather be than with you
They call us lucky, but I think we might be cursed
'Cause the way you love me, I could drink the river dry and still die of thirst

Gimme, gimme shelter from the storm
Gimme, gimme shelter, keep me warm
Come kiss me by the delta where the river's torn
But I'll be whole as long as I'm yours, yours

There's no way out, the city sinks into the sea
But if we go down, at least I'm in good company
They call us hasty, and I think they might be right
But I know that I'd be crazy, not to wanna be the one to keep you up all night

Gimme, gimme shelter from the storm
Gimme, gimme shelter, keep me warm
Come kiss me by the delta where the river's torn
But I'll be whole as long as I'm yours, as long as I'm yours

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna think about a life without you
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna go to war, but I'm about to

Gimme, gimme shelter from the storm
Gimme, gimme shelter, keep me warm
Come kiss me by the delta where the river's torn
But I'll be whole as long as I'm yours, as long I'm yours

Gimme, gimme shelter from the storm
Gimme, gimme shelter, keep me warm
Come kiss me by the delta where the river's torn
But I'll be whole as long as I'm yours

I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna think about a life without you
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I don't wanna go to war, but I'm about to
