lyrics

if you stroll through this old town, even in the early hours of the day
you will see many gamblers, gambling their life away
as the river flows they'll empty out their souls, tell the tales of old
they do all to impress but they fail to confess
they're scared of the ace of hearts

a bright young girl left all alone, tortured by twists of the heart
in a world full of lies and deceit she was foolish to share her soul
although somewhere in this vast land must be a man who'd treat her right
she has to have faith in fate
and not worry about the ace of hearts

the hard working souls in this town have it harder than the penniless fools
they scrimp and save for a better day, only to see it all taken away
the weight of the world can get anyone down but most keep up the fight
the brave are never left waiting
to be drawn the ace of hearts

you will a see a bright young man wonder this tired old land
with every step placed with care, won't leave anything to fate
no matter where you see him, he'll always be looking ahead
he will never talk of what's been
because he ignored the ace of hearts

a man nears the end of the road in his worn down home
feeling lost and lonely with no-one to wish him goodbye
everyone keeps another company through ritual not through love
a crowded but empty saturday night
will never deal the ace of hearts
