英國流行樂團［莎黛］宣傳單曲──雷鬼／緩拍／流行柔和爵士／新靈魂樂──［Lovers Rock／情人寶石］

I am in the wilderness

You are in the music

In the mans car next to me

Somewhere in my sadness

I know I wont fall apart

Completely

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

And in all this

And in all my life

You are the lovers rock

The rock that I cling to

Youre 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 mans car next to me

Somewhere in my sadness

I know I wont fall apart

Completely

And in all this

And in all my life

You are the lovers rock

The rock that I cling to

Youre 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

Youre the one

The one I swim to in a storm

Like a lovers rock

When I need to be rescued

Youre there

When I need a place to swim to in the storm

I think of you

And in all my life

And in all my life

You are the lovers rock

The rock that I cling to

Youre the one

The one I swim to in a storm

Like a lovers rock
