Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
When I need to be rescued
And I need a place to swim
When no one can hear me calling
I have you I can sing to
And in all this
And in all my life
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
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
And in all this
And in all my life
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
When I need to be rescued you're there
When I need a place to swim to in a storm
I sing to you
And all my life
And in all my life
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
