marillion memory of water from the this strange engine ( 1997 ) record i wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree by the standing pool where you drank me D A/C# Bm and filled me full of thirsty love Bm A G and the memory of water Bm A G i wonder if a king still fishes there Bm A G his back towards the burned - out air D A/C# Bm his laughing catches singing loud G A Bm of the memory of water D A/C# your taste is blood and ecstasy Bm A but i must drink you all alone G F#m you’re freckled like a speckled egg E Bm A E/G# G a dove , but this bird has flown D A/C# Bm A o stay with me sweet memory G F#m E G o stay with me Bm A Bm i wonder if my rope’s still hanging from the tree Bm A Bm by the standing pool where you drank me D A/C# Bm as pain flows through me like champagne G A Bm of the memory of water
