No Dice (It’s Time to Leave)

Words and music John Greaves

Not prone to exaggerating
No more than my conscience allows
I tend more to understating
Rather than looking a fool

Don’t like giving the game away
I keep my cards close to my chest
Just in case it’s my lucky day
I don’t want to spoil my chances

Joking apart this poor old heart is
Worn out on my sleeve
It’s time to leave
I’m no percentage player
I’ll tear off every layer
And later I’ll be cleaned out
Washed up mangled,
Hanging on the line to dry.

It’s like a dream an illusion
A wonderful story you can’t remind
You’re the kind who don’t believe in the future
I am the one who’s stuck in the past
It’s a different view from a different point
Feelings you won’t let Inside
I am here for you but you’re not ready for two
Standing behind waiting a sign
Chained heart chained
And we will be heart chained
Is it all we need to live together in a way
After all we’ve crossed we need to rest an be safe
It doesn’t matter to me if you don’t follow the stream
Wind blows and shapes a new wave
I am here with you as long as you want to
Guiding your steps along this way
