Gary Brooker Give Me Something To Remember You By Lyrics

(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
