Dead Man's Hand - Lyrics

With this dead man's hand I could rule the world,
With this dead man's hand I could fool the girl,
Who dreams about me,
Though she swears blind she never dreams at all,

Left an unpaid bill. In the unmade bed
Lies the only girl who has ever said
She cares about me,
I know full well she never cares at all.

And I raise, and I rise as the light grows dim,
I'm erased, I arise - I know someone is calling me in.

This I know is true:
As the stillness grew,
And the light turned blue
I could see myself.

Held the Ace of Diamonds, the two black eights.
Drew the Ace of Clubs, Little Queen of Spades
keeps smiling at me.
Though she never ever smiles at all.

And I raise, and I rise as my ship comes in.
I'm erased and arise - I feel somebody pulling me in.

This I know is true:
As the stillness grew,
And the light turned blue,
I could see myself
For the first time.

This I know is true:
As the stillness grew,
And the light turned blue,
I could see myself
For the first time.

This I know is true:
I found my faith in you,
And all the things you do,
And I could see myself
For the first time.
