procol harum - the king of hearts lyrics

Loading...

(g.brooker / k.reid / m.n-ble)

there was trouble in the air
just a subtle hint of danger
and a woman dressed in black
out lookin’ for a stranger
well she took me to her room
where she offered me a wager
she promised me the moon
so i took a chance

yes i played the king of hearts
put my cards out on the table
i thought the odds were in my favour
but she laid the ace of spades
an’ i wound up where i started
the king of hearts no more
but the king of the broken-hearted

she cut the deck one more
by the light of thirteen candles
she said, “the winner takes it all —
is that too much for you to handle?
so i wandered through my playing cards
and tried to understand her
i was lookin’ for a face
it was right there in my hand

yes i played the king of hearts
put my cards out on the table
i thought the odds were in my favour
but she laid the ace of spades
an’ i wound up where i started
the king of hearts no more
but the king of the broken-hearted
