Lyrics

Lovers Rock

[Verse 1] I am in the wilderness You are in the music In the man's car next to me Somewhere in my sadness I know I won't fall apart completely [Verse 2] When I need to be rescued And I need a place to swim I have a rock to cling to in the storm When no one can hear me calling I have you, I can sing to [Pre-Chorus] And in all this And in all my life [Chorus] You are the lovers rock The rock that I cling to You're the one The one I swim to in a storm Like a lovers rock [Verse 3] I am in the wilderness You are in the music In the man's car next to me Somewhere in my sadness I know I won't fall apart completely [Pre-Chorus] And in all this And in all my life [Chorus] You are the lovers rock The rock that I cling to You're the one The one I swim to in a storm Like a lovers rock You are the lovers rock The rock that I cling to You're the one The one I swim to in a storm Like a lovers rock [Bridge] When I need to be rescued, you're there When I need a place to swim to in a storm I think of you And all my life And in all my life [Chorus] You are the lovers rock The rock that I cling to You're the one The one I swim to in a storm Like a lovers rock
