lyrics

Unlucky Gamble

Starlight and white rice
Shadows on the wall
Cameos and outlines
midnight slips inside
Like a cat from the alleyway
It slides past the window pain
To lie at the foot of my bed
The past’s never fades
If love’s never dead
I kept you alive in my head
A sweet midnight ramble
And unlucky gamble

Going down
To the other side
Of a dream I’d been talking
Out loud in the night
It’s dreamed out
Should be put aside
An unwanted harmony
That I’d leave behind me
Lies at the back of my tongue
It never ages, it’s always young
Honey now what have you done
You stole and you scrambled
For and unlucky gamble

You I have known my whole life
You cut the surface of the night
But lady luck has broken these dice
They don’t roll they just ramble
For an unlucky gamble

Starlight and white rice
Shadows on the wall
Cameos and outlines
