The Card Player

You, come back to my door,
I've got another mistake for you.
You come looking for more,
I've still got a place here.

You've got second hand happiness,
You bought on trial.
You got imitation,
A compensation.

When the cards come falling down,
Where will the lovers lie?
And when the cards are played for real
Where will the love-in lie?
There's a tree in the ground
With our names etched on it.
It made no sound,
You made a wish on it.
Where will the lovers lie?
Where will the lovers lie?

Act, split the deck in my favour,
You've been dealing seconds and
Cut the pack, i'm stuck here with this card sharp,
Do i revoke, or do i fold?

Bet on all that this past's worth,
You bet money for nothing, and
Banker, bank.
I'm stuck here with this card sharp...

I cracked the code
To figure sweet alibis
You'd better be ready
To change your mind.
