lyrics

REMEMBER ME TO THE ROSES

Still I don't remember 
Just what happened there 
Or how I came to be here 
Upon this harbour wall 
Standing in the darkness 
Waiting for a boat 
A boat to take me 
God knows where 
God knows why 
I don't care 
I just know I must go away 
Far from these aching isles 
Stay away till catching my breath 
Comes easy again 

Remember me to the roses 
I think they always knew 
Even then when I gave them 
What little good they'd do 
For one in love with another 
Or this one in love with you 
Oh I've given all I have to give now
What else can I do

Standing by the rail 
As we pull away 
Watching the town lights 
Bobbing in the dark 
And still I'm longing 
To see your face again 
But still your fingers 
Are stripping 
The bark 
Of my heart 
And I know I must go away 
Far from these aching isles 
Stay away till catching my breath 
Comes easy again

Remember me to the roses 
I think they always knew 
Even then when I gave them 
What little good they'd do 
For one in love with another 
Or this one in love with you 
Oh I've given all I have to give 
Now all I ask of you 

Remember me to the roses 
I think they always knew 
Even then when I gave them 
What little good they'd do 
For one in love with another 
Or this one in love with you 

For the kisses I stole 
In the light of your doorway 
For the kisses I stole 
In the light of your hallway 
For the days and the nights 
For the wrongs and the rights 
For the burning flame 
Of my unrepentant love 

Remember me to the roses 
I think they always knew 
Even then when I gave them 
What little good they could do 
For one in love with another 
Or this one so in love with you 
Oh I've given all I have to give now
What else can I do 
What else can I do 
What else can I do
