If All Is Lost, Remember Me

by Sophie Jones

I’m saving you, a memory,

For a night so dark it keeps me awake.

If all is lost, remember me.

Our love is our reverie,

Let’s keep it for our own heart’s sake.

I’m saving you, a memory.

I fear the soul’s December sea

Will toss and turn this ship to break.

If all is lost, remember me.

Yet we might last a century,

With lips we meet and hands we take.

I’m saving you, a memory.

I hold your face so tenderly.

You think you made a grave mistake?

If all is lost, remember me.

Goodbye is not an enemy,

Despite the long and dying ache.

I’m saving you, a memory.

If all is lost, remember me.
