Song language: English
Sands Of Nevada |
| These tables are haunted |
| By the ghost of Las Vegas |
| Their chips were once mountains |
| But they came here to play |
| They could take me if they wanted |
| But I have nothing worth counting |
| And like the sands of Nevada |
| They go drifting away |
| Lady luck’s still a mystery |
| With her head on my shoulders |
| And I don’t know why |
| I still want her to dance |
| I guess that’s all history |
| What it is is I’m older |
| And I’m still a fool |
| For a one-way romance |
| Her dice were red rubies |
| They rolled and they tumbled |
| And I never saw time |
| Running out with my roll |
| And in a wasteland of cut glass |
| My dreams have all crumbled |
| And I’ve paid with whatever |
| I had left for a soul |
| Now the dawn’s broken even |
| On an empty horizon |
| No reason for folding |
| No reason to stay |
| It’s too soon to be leaving |
| Too late for criticising |
| And the sands of Nevada |
| They go drifting away |
