The Gambler

He stumbled backwards through the door He smelled of gin and cold cold smoke His wife and kids feared nothing more This night his ship has left the shore No one else could feel his pain He lost the game once more again The tide is coming in Sweat ran down his furrowed face He shivered like an earthquake Once he was full of grace But the benjamins took his faith No one else could feel his pain He lost the game once more again The tide is coming in He left his home as a man Now he needs a helping hand Come back home like a man He didn't know how this could happen He didn't know a way out So he left them with a weapon And birds rose up through the clouds No one else could feel his pain He lost the game once more again The tide is coming in He left his home as a man Now he needs a helping hand Come back home like a man He left his home as a man Now he needs a helping hand Come back home like a man
