You placed your bets, luck turns its tide Cards on the table, no place to hide You’ve shown your hand, but time’s unkind Your bluff’s been called — kitty’s mine Whispers shift like chips in the night Faces turn in the soft dim light Fingers dance on the velvet green Secrets hiding in what’s unseen Raise the stakes, the game’s alive Moving pieces in overdrive Hold your breath for the silent scream Winning’s closer than it seems Fold or fight, there’s nowhere to stand Shadows stretch across the hand Every play is a final line Queen of hearts — kitty’s mine You placed your bets, luck turned its tide Cards on the table, no place to hide You’ve shown your hand, but time’s unkind Your bluff’s been called — kitty’s mine
