Intro
Verse 1
There's a solitary man crying "Hold me"
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!
Chorus 1
If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
With a card up his sleeve what would he achieve?
It means nothing!
Verse 2
To the opium dens and the barroom gin
In the Belmont chair playing violins
The gambler's face cracks into a grin
As he lays down the king of spades
Chorus 2
But the dealer just stares
There's something wrong here he thinks
The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
And shot.......... Dead
Link
He only wanted more time
Away from the darkest door
But his luck it gave in as the dawn light crept in
And he lay on the floor
Verse 3
From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea
With a lance and a musket and a roman spear
To all of the men who have stood with no fear
In the service of the King
Chorus 3
Before you met your fate be sure you
Did not forsake
Your lover may not be around anymore

Verse 4
There's a solitary man crying "Hold me"
It's only because he's a-lonely
If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!
