Gary Brooker - Give Me Something to Remember You By lyrics

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
