Queen of Diamonds

Queen of Diamonds - Tom Odell (湯姆·奧德爾)

Lyrics by：Tom Odell

Composed by：Tom Odell

The casino floor is full of men so frightened

Trying to make good pay

To win or lose

We know just how our night ends

Gonna throw it all away

Oh but suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds

And everyone around you turns to silence

Another plea to keep the repo man from dialing your name

Again and again

You think of all the gifts that you would give her

Trying to make her stay oh

And you remember all the love she carried with her

Like a bitter cheap champaign

Now that's history you've drawn the queen of diamonds

It'll be limousines and Caribbean islands

You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling

For a change change for a change

What a fools game oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Those whiskey drinks they give you your ambition

While the bar ladys they work for their commission

But it doesn't stop a sucker like you wishing and away

Oh how can it be you draw the queen of diamonds

It was limousines and caribbean islands

What you didn't see is the dealer he was hiding an ace

An ace what an ace

What a cruel cruel game oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh
