King Of Spades

(album: Out Of The Silence - 1988)

I can hear you through the silence
Talking slowly to the wind
No one ever sees the real you
And your standing in the darkness
Looking out towards the sea
No one ever sees the things you do

And I know you
I can see how long you've waited by your eyes
And we've got so far to go to the horizon
But if the legend ever fades
Turning you will find me
View the king of spades
Though we never saw the light of day
No way

But to you it made no difference
Cus you've seen it all before
No one ever seemed to let you be
So you wait until the day
And you walk on to the shore
No one ever seemed to be so free

And I know you
I can see how long you've waited by your eyes
And we've got so far to go to the horizon
But if the legend ever fades
Turning you will find me
View the king of spades
Though we never saw the light of day
No way

When I see your eyes
I can see the soul
Why did you play the king of spades?
Why did you play the king of spades?
Why did you play the king of spades?
