The Rover Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for

[Pre-Chorus]
There can be no denying
That the wind'll shake 'em down
And the flag we're flying
Is the new flag of the land

[Chorus]
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join...

[Verse 2]
In fields of plenty
When heaven sent me
I saw the kings who rule them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rested rivers call

[Pre-Chorus]
And the wind is crying
From a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lying
On the dark side of the globe

[Chorus]
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Bridge]
You got me rocking when I ought to be a-rolling
Darling, tell me, darling, which way to go
You keep me rocking, baby, then you keep me stalling
Won't you tell me, darling, which way to go, that's right

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
Of all this wonder, of earthly plunder
Will it leave us anything to show?

[Pre-Chorus]
And our time is flying
See the candle burning low
Is the new world rising
From the shambles of the old?

[Chorus]
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just, if we could just, if we could just
If we could just, if we could just join hands
Hey! That's all it takes, that's all it takes
That's all it takes, that's all it takes
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Ooh yeah, Ah! Ah! Ah! That's right, that's right, that's right, that's right
