I heard a rumor...that you were a gambling man
Taking chances and laughing the loudest
Risking danger with the cards life had dealt you
Betting that your had the upper hand this time
In a shower with fifty four drops, we drowned

Maybe it was just a trick of the light
But you were there now gone again
Wanderlust took over your mind
Like a flash, you were never here
To pick up the cards that fell to the floor

Did you gamble when you looked in my direction
Seeing the little girl on your stage, belting out her song
And maybe it was more than just music and lighting
Can I just pretend to be your personal royal flush?
Singing my songs as you play your winning hand.

Maybe it was just a trick of the light
But you were there now gone again
Wanderlust took over your mind
Like a flash, you were never here
To pick up the chips that fell to the floor

Deal me those confident words of luck and chance
Before you reveal to the world your luck paid off
Illusions of confidence in an unending poker game
Don’t leave the table before you have won this round
Leaving me here to drown in your fifty four cards

Top card – ace of spades
Don’t leave me here alone
Lady luck with no more cards
Diamonds, Spades, Clubs, and Hearts
Useless without your hand
Queen of Hearts lost her Ace

Maybe it was just a trick of the light
But you were there now gone again
Wanderlust took over your mind
Like a flash, you were never here
To pick up the chips that fell to the floor

Like a flash you were never here
To pick up the cards that fell to the floor
To pick up the chips that fell to the floor
To pick up the girl that fell to the floor.
Fell to the floor
Fell to the floor
Fell to the floor.
