(Brooker / Renwick / Sinfield)
|
So many ships have slipped on by in the night
|
I couldn't keep the score
|
Until you tied up in the harbour with me
|
And I prayed we'd share something more
|
Maybe we both tried just a bit too hard
|
New loves so close and true
|
For ten wild days we held a straight flush in hearts
|
And then I froze on you
|
Give me something to remember you by
|
Like a kiss on a cold cold night
|
Give me something to remember you by
|
As your ship sinks out of sight
|
The queen of rubies took the sweet jack of moon
|
So high above the flood
|
Though they survived the fall with ice on their wings
|
The stables ran with blood
|
Maybe we had too much to win or loose
|
We'd both been lost before
|
But that ain't your hear that's an anchor and chain
|
All those are claw marks across my floor
|
Give me something to remember you by
|
Like a knife or a blue steel key
|
Give me something to remember you by
|
Like a rose like a storm at sea
|
Give me something to remember you by
|
We weren't wrong but we weren't right
|
Give me something to remember you by
|
Bye-bye baby, bye-bye
|
