So many ships have slipped on by in the night I didn't keep the score Until you tied up in the harbour with me 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 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 Both been lost before But that ain't your heart that's an anchor and chain Those are claw marks 'cross 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 Like a kiss on a cold cold night Give me something to remember you by As your ship sinks out of sight
Give me something to remember you by We weren't wrong, oh we weren't right Give me something to remember you by Bye-bye, baby bye-bye
