I made a promise
Eb

to myself

Someday I'd return to these shores

The silver coastline white with waves,

the heather green on the moor

For I have left a life behind,

I lived as a gambling man

Searching for that wild pie cart

to play a winning hand

And I wandered into a
Eb

smuggler's saloon
Bb
Shadows dancing on the wall
Eb

At a table green we played our cart
Bb
And we drank from glasses tall
Eb
And next to me a woman wept
Ab

Her eyes watching fortune and fame
Eb
Ab
And as I played my last pie card
Bb
But I could not leave the game

Lady Luck is a court mistress,
Bb
both passionate and proud
Eb
Ab
I'm the fool who tries to find
Bb
Her face among the crowd
Eb
Seeking her re flection,

I could never see her face
Bb

Till I laid my last high guard
Bb
And fell into her embrace
Eb

And now the game has ended at last
Bb
In the cold gray light of dawn
Ebm
Ab
The hands of time unties the blinds,
Bb
in the morning we are gone
Eb
And the love we made is lingering
Ab

like waves upon the sand
Eb

And as I breathe the cool morning air,

I hold a winning hand.
