You say with best intention Let's throw away convention Set sail across the water To find the tides of fortune I say please understand it Don't let our love be stranded Upon the midnight rocks Upon the midnight rocks You say there's no endeavour We couldn't try together No storm we couldn't weather We'll ride the wind forever I hear the words you've spoken Don't let our love be broken Upon the midnight rocks Upon the midnight rocks Ah, you know you know it's easy Ah, to let it go believe me Ah, you know, you know you feel it Ah, don't lose it when you need it I know that fascination With living each sensation In your imagination There is no hesitation I know your mind is turning Don't let our love lie burning Upon the midnight rocks Upon the midnight rocks I know that fascination With living each sensation In your imagination There is no hesitation I say please understand it Don't let our love be stranded Upon the midnight rocks
