BACKGAMMON

Fleetingly you say my name

And that’s enough

Seemingly you play the game

I know it’s rough

And all that stuff

Listen to my gentle heart beating to your drum

I’d ask that you’d consider me

Although I’m rather dull

Should you ever think of me?

I hope that it’s not just in vain

Did I just hear a melody?

Perhaps someone just said your name

Fleetingly you glance my way

Oh, I’ve had worse days

Beating me up just the same

It’s not a game that I’d like to play

And lose again today
