Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Rock Of Gibraltar lyrics

rate me

Let me say this to you

I'll be steadfast and true

And my love will never falter

The sea would crash about us

The waves would lash about us

I'll be your Rock of Gibraltar

Sometimes it's hard

And we're both caught off guard

But there's nothing I would ever alter

The wind could howl round our ears

For the next thousand years

I'd still be your Rock of Gibraltar

The best thing I done

Was to make you the one

Who I'd walk with down to the altar

You'd stand by me

And together we'd be

That great, steady Rock of Gibraltar

Under the big yellow moon

On our honeymoon

I took you on a trip to Malta

And all through the night

You held me so tight

Your great, steady Rock of Gibraltar

Could the powers that be

Ever foresee

That things could so utterly alter?

All the plans that we laid

Could soon be betrayed

Betrayed like the Rock of Gibraltar
