Poem
Play your cards right you could just win An ace of spades is your best bet Don’t come around here if you know you can’t win She’ll pick up the deck and play you again She says all you want to do is just play games Her life is a board and she plays the same way Walk alone in that city at night, dark of night Looking for the spot where you first saw her eyes Like a grey shadow falling over the sky She won’t be there, she’s in disguise Take a moment Breathe the mist of the day Too dark outside and you can’t find your way Down the road you traveled with her before Go back Go back And she made that mistake of choosing you She said I chased my dreams so they’d come true It’s all over now It’s all over now Bring it back somehow Bring it back somehow You know you’ll be alone She can’t find you now And on this night she’ll change her mind So you see her now Out of the shadow somehow Drive her home tonight Tonight And she made that mistake of choosing you It’s strange how you change You change direction No longer grasping at her for her affection Neglection Too many times she saw you walk by Too many times you saw her in the window And she cried Take out that deck of cards and play again Tonight you play it right You could maybe win You got 52 cards you can only take one She’s going to walk away She doesn’t want to play You drew the Ace of spades Now she’s gone She’s gone
