lyrics

moonstone, pearl and amber
a drawer full of beads
playing cards and baubles
coins and rings and keys
give em all to charity

and if I die before you
won't you burn my letters please
stoke the fire with postcards
and jaundiced diaries
and if I die before you
won't you check my books with care
there's a petal from our wedding day
and a lock of Charlie's hair
all the rest is dust and rubble
you'd have to be daft to keep
you are all that's left of me

if I die before you...
