I'm workin on a story
bout love and how I rant
and many times I wish that I
could start over, but I can't
see when it comes to love
my hand is often poor
and no matter how oft the deal
I get the same cards as before
I'm not trying to be a whiner
some lovelorn moron with a pen
but just ONCE I'd like a winning hand
so I don't want toplay again
so I can sit and grow quite old
with a lady by my side
the Queen of Hearts, or Clubs or Spades
or Three of Diamonds would keep me satisfied
I sit and read these words
and I slowly shakes my head
for I have realised...all too late....
I should be playing checkers instead

" and I dream of her always,
even when I don't dream.
her name's on my tongue
and her blood's in my stream."

'Christmas in Prison' John Prine

Like this one....

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
