| Each time that I hold you, your eyes fill with fear,
|
| You can’t lose control now, the price is too dear;
|
| But love, I have heard you crying in the dark,
|
| And the tears on your pillow came bleeding, weeping from your heart;
|
| Oh Sinner, you’re losing all that you had,
|
| Your day is in pieces, your night has gone mad,
|
| And love cannot touch you, the search has no end,
|
| And the one you’ve forgotten was really your only friend…
|
| Then your soul flies to Heaven
|
| You reach out for me But the door will not open,
|
| You’ve thrown away the key;
|
| No the door will not open,
|
| You’ve thrown away the key…
|
| Oh Stranger beware the life that you lead,
|
| Is filled with the warnings you can or will not read;
|
| Your castle has fallen, it lies in the sand,
|
| I heard your voice calling, I thought I felt the brush of your hand…
|
| Oh Gambler remember the love that you lend,
|
| Will never come back for the game has no ending;
|
| The smiler is calling, your turn for the deal,
|
| And the aces keep falling with every spin of the wheel;
|
| Then you gather your winnings,
|
| You’re ready to leave,
|
| But the door will not open,
|
| You’ve thrown away the key
|
| Oh there’s no point in staying,
|
| So don’t wait to see,
|
| For the door will not open,
|
| You’ve thrown away the key. |
