Queen Of Diamonds
Tom Odell
Letra

(There are different versions online, the bold shows them)

The casino floor is full of men so frightened
Trying to make a pay
Yeah, we win or lose we know just how our night ends
Gonna throw it all away
Oh, but suddenly you draw the queen of diamonds
And everyone around you fills with silence
And everyone around you turns to silence
Another reason, yeah, to keep on smiling for a change
Change, for a change
Another plee to keep the repo man from dialing your name
Again and again

When you think of all those gifts that you might give her
Just trying to make her stay
And you remember all that love she carried with her
Before you gambled it away
Like a bitter, cheap champaign
But now that's history, you've drawn the queen of diamonds
There'll be limousines and Caribbean islands
You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling
For a change, change, for a change
What a cruel, cruel game

And these dreams you dream they bring you your ambition
And those whiskey drings they give you your ambition
While the bar lady is just one for their commission
But it doesn't stop a sucker like you wishing it away
Oh, you better be drawing the queen of diamonds
There'll be limousines and Caribbean islands
You can't wait to see her standing there just smiling
For a change, change, for a change
What a cruel, cruel shame

Oh, you better be drawing the queen of diamonds
There'll be limousines and Caribbean islands
I can't wait to see her standing there just smiling
For a change, change, for a change
