The Queen of diamonds

She's a doll

But I'll never break through

Her glamour-filled wall


She's not the one for me.


I'll break a leg for the Queen of Spades

She's worth more than my mind

When my memory fades

And it does

Like your breath on the window


Thank you dealer of my day

Please don't steal my love away

I want to thank you once again

For all the magic cards you lay


Queen of Clubs you hurt me bad

Or I hurt myself not knowing just what I had

Now she's gone, oh yes, she's gone


Don't play cards anymore

But I still keep a Queen of Hearts

In a holy wooden drawyer

And she's there,

Oh yes, she's there


Thank you lover of my days

For not stealing all my love away

I want to thank you once again

For all the magic cards you played

And we played one more game


I'm just a Jack trying to be a King

When I lay 'em all down I wanna hear 'em all sing

"Sweet Baby you're the one"


I believe in one and that's why I'm here

After all the other cards have gone and disappeared

And I'm here, oh yes I'm here for you


Thank you keeper of my ways

For holding all my love 'til the grave

I want to thank you once again

For the holy cards you laid


Thank you Father for the praise

For giving me the strength to save

Thank you mother for all you gave

And all the holy cards you laid


All the cards we played
