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 |
