rock of gibraltar

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Let me say this to you
Iââ?¬â?¢ll be steadfast and true
And my love will never falter

The sea would crash about us
The waves would lash about us
Iââ?¬â?¢ll be your Rock of Gibraltar

Sometimes itââ?¬â?¢s hard
And weââ?¬â?¢re both caught off guard
But thereââ?¬â?¢s nothing I would ever alter

The wind could howl round our ears
For the next thousand years
Iââ?¬â?¢d still be your Rock of Gibraltar

The best thing I done
Was to make you the one
Who Iââ?¬â?¢d walk with down to the altar

Youââ?¬â?¢d stand by me
And together weââ?¬â?¢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
