Something To Remember Me By Lyrics - Singles - Polly Paulusma

I'll carve a song out of notes of stone 

My tune-cut will last generations long 

And it will be one to remember me by 

When I am dead and gone 

Empires may fall, and the maps might change 

The oceans may boil in a fit of rage 

But folks will be whistling a tune of mine 

When I am dead and gone 

Let me plant my pillars in the sand 

I won't be here when they crumble out of the sky 

Trunkless legs, that sneer of cold command 

Don't you need something to remember me by 

Oh, you needing something to remember me by 

Darkness creeps quickly and strikes too hard 

These songs tumble from me with their swords drawn fast 

And fueled by love, round the world they'll fly 

When I am dead and gone 

Let me build my castles in the sand 

I won't be here when they crumble into the tide 

Flag and fortress, molded by my hands 

Don't you need something to remember me by 

Oh, you needing something to remember me by 

I'll carve a song out of notes of stone 

My tune-cut will last generations long 

And it will be one to remember me by 

When I am dead and gone
