Rock of Gibraltar
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
2003
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
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 forsee
That things could so utterly alter?
All the plans that we laid
Could soon be betrayed
Betrayed like the Rock of Gibraltar
