heartflush

deal 'em pretty, sweet and low,
play 'em cool, of course you know,
take 'em to your bosom, up against your heart,
kindness will not kill 'em, it takes a lovers dart.

rolling like a freight train, zinging like a zap,
cooing like a baby, on it's mama's lap,
hanging to the wildside, ignoring all those calls,
whats the sense in worrying, we walk in gilded halls.

check the mirror, over there,
it's got your number, fair and square,
the Jokers lost, dueces wild,
once you were, the fair-haired child.

ante-up, you might just win,
probably not, but still get in,
a hand of hearts, all are broken,
toss 'em in, Fate has spoken.
1979
