Mark Knopfler - Sands of Nevada текст песни

These tables are haunted

By the ghost of las vegas

Their chips were once mountains

But they came here to play

They could take me if they wanted

But I have nothing worth counting

And like the sands of nevada

They go drifting away

Lady lucks still a mystery

With her head on my shoulder

And I dont know why

I still want her to dance

I guess thats all history

What it is is a Im older

And Im still a fool

For a one-way romance

Her dice were red rubies

They rolled and they tumbled

And I never saw time

Running out with my roll

And in the wasteland of cut glass

My dreams were crumbled

And Ive paid with whatever

I had left for a soul

Now the dawns broken even

On a empty horizon

No reason for folding

No reason to stay

Its too soon to be leaving

Too late for criticising

And the sands of nevada

They go drifting away
