lyrics
Tapestry
Hung from a weather vain
Books left unread, all these word left unsaid
Somethings, never change
As the time drew near
My head it was clear, for the second time
And now I know, I know
Misfortune comes in two's
Jukebox pumpin' out those rhythm and blues
Oh it's closing time in the land of the used
I was born like this
I had no choice
We are all born with the gift of a golden voice
Now grey seeps into your hair
your youth has abandoned you
Grow gracefully old
You are worth much more than you know
People skipping' in their Sunday shoes
The congregation's up in arms as if the Bible was the truth
Jukebox still pumpin' out those rhythm and blues
Don't give your heart to a gambler he'll only lose
Don't give your heart to a gambler
He'll only push you away
Don't give your heart to a gambler
He'll only lead you astray
Don't give your heart to a gambler
He'll only push you away
Don't give your heart to a gambler
He'll only drive you insane
Don't give your heart to a gambler
He'll only push you away
Don't give your heart to a gambler
Don't give your heart to me
