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
