Lyrics
Amber coals beneath the ash still glowing
Looking back across the tracks I heard the whistle blowing
The cards in the alley got shuffled and dealt
and the old man got played and fell
The pale moon laughed and the devil grinned,
cyotees cryin' in the wind
One card left, when you found me
One card left to play
Thought that I was winning when my pockets were full
But all the gold in all the world would be nothing without you
I've been good, and I've bin' I've bin bad and I'm luckey
You've seen it all and still you loved me
So I'm bettin' it all
bettin' it all on you
You are my King of hearts
Your love trumps my every move
You are my King of hearts
So I'm bettin' it all, bettin' it all on you
You'd think by now I'd'av earned my share of diamonds
enough to chill my soul and crystalize my tears
I was a long time patron of clubs and notorious spades
Buried my friends and lovers, put a rose on their grave
Couldn't shake the dust, nothing mattered much, til the wind picked up and the sparks filled the skies
you were there when I needed you, right there by my side
You are my King of hearts
Your love trumps my every move
You are my King of hearts
So I'm bettin' it all, bettin' it all on you
Ya, I'm bettin' it all
bettin' it all on....you
