Rock of Gibraltar

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

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
