An ace of spades walked to a queen of diamonds,
Said, “you’ve lost it dear, I’ll help you find it.”
A child ran by with her eyes shut tight
Ace said, “look at her power, it comes from the night.”
Ohs
He had to go and her mind moved slow,
Gave her a kiss and the time took it’s toll
She almost forgot him, when he came back to say,
“It’s me, the ace, hold on. I’m on my way.”
Ohs
She said, “I’m scared.”
He said, “It’s not in your head.
Oh, it’s real, it’s real, but dream of me instead.”
He said, “Hold on love, I’m on my way.
I’ll come back for you when I’m a free man one day.”
The queen held on tight, he sang in the night,
Said, “Give me the canvas and just close your eyes.”
A feather in his cap, a trickster inside,
Trouble and fog just seeped from his smile
Ohs
He was a master of cards with a black guitar,
They broke free and moved straight to a star
She caught on fire, burned him away
He fled for his life
She begged him to stay
He said, “I can’t be that person, it’s true.
I’ll look after me and you take care of you.”
Ohs
She said, “I know, I know, I know, it’s all in my head.
I’d go with you where angels fear to tread.
I cut the cards and saw us lying there.
I hope I forget it and learn not to care.”
A queen of diamonds stepped to the Sun
