And you stood out like a ruby
You were playing on the horses,
you were playing on the strings
Wearing wings, you look so grand
Can you fly? I heard you can
Can you fly like an eagle
doing your hunting from the sky?
I followed with a sideshow
Then I saw you on a trailer
You were betting on some lovers,
you were shaking up the dice
Once or twice, I heard you did.
Were you wondering was the gamble
Pack it in, I heard you did, pack it in.
So lately you've been hiding,
it was somewhere in the news
and I'm still at the races
with my ticket stubs and blues
and a voice calls out the numbers
and it sometimes mentions mine
and I feel like I've been
Over time, I'm getting tired, over time,
always playing one more hand
Slowing down, I'm getting tired,
and I envy you the valley
