The Gambler

He stumbled backwards through the door
 He smelled of gin and cold cold smoke
 His wife and kids feared nothing more
 This night his ship has left the shore
 No one else could feel his pain
 He lost the game once more again
 The tide is coming in
 Sweat ran down his furrowed face
 He shivered like an earthquake
 Once he was full of grace
 But the benjamins took his faith
 No one else could feel his pain
 He lost the game once more again
 The tide is coming in
 He left his home as a man
 Now he needs a helping hand
 Come back home like a man
 He didn't know how this could happen
 He didn't know a way out
 So he left them with a weapon
 And birds rose up through the clouds
 No one else could feel his pain
 He lost the game once more again
 The tide is coming in
 He left his home as a man
 Now he needs a helping hand
 Come back home like a man
 He left his home as a man
 Now he needs a helping hand
 Come back home like a man
