Kenny Rogers - The gambler
Tekst :
On a warm summers evening, on a train bound for nowhereI met up with a gambler, we were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns at staring out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us and he began to speak
He said, son I ve made a life out of reading people s faces
And knowing what the cards were, by the way they held their eyes
So if you don t mind my sayin , I can see you re out of aces
For a taste of your whiskey, I ll give you some advice
So I handed him my bottle, and he drank down my last swallow
Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light
And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression
Said, if you re gonna play the game, boy, you gotta learn to play it right
Chorus:
You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money, when you re sittin at the table
There ll be time enough for countin , when the dealin s done
Every gambler knows that the secret to survive is
Knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep
Cos every hand s a winner and every hand s a loser
And the best that you can hope for is that I end asleep
And when he finished speakin , he turned back for the window
Crushed out the cigarette, faded off to sleep
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler he broke even
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep
chorus repeats 3x
Inne utwory
Losowe utwory
Heart with no complaint
And I greet you from the other side
Of sorrow and despair
With that love so vast and shattered
It will reach you everywhere
And I sing this for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion
Of sorrow and despair
With that love so vast and shattered
It will reach you everywhere
And I sing this for the captain
Whose ship has not been built
For the mother in confusion

How you gonna reckon with a God like this?
When you gonna face what you can t dismiss?
Whatcha gonna say to the... Soul Kiss that is my God?
Fearsome like the sag in a fat man s chair?
Sweeter than a patch of Rogaine hair?
How do you define what you can t compare?

I`ve been walking around all day, thinking
I think i have a problem, I think I think too much
I`ve been tought to hold back my tears and avoid them
but you`ve made pain into something I could touch
I`ve been walking around all day, laughing
Think I`d be better off whithout you here
And I...

In still silence
in still silence she comes
slower moves of desperation
i feel the taste of moor
smell the colour of time
gimme your helping hand
catch me if i fall
‘cause i’m so blind
i’m sinking in the moor of slime
Cover me my love
cover me my love
you have the combination
to fight for liberation
In a dress
