Through a game of chance we met in April
In all the colours of the day
May Queens are not untouchable
And when it’s over, even they can be lead astray
We were both bound for the station
On a Fool’s Day, our destinations changed
In the brass bed you made me wait
Do you believe in fate?
Come to me girl, in the places you and I know
You’re the prettiest thing that I’ve ever seen
I don’t want to let you go
We all live by the roll of the dice
Map our futures in a bet
Through your crown you count the cost
You’re dealt this hand – a hand that you won’t forget
Come to me girl, a hand of aces put on show
You’re the prettiest thing that I’ve ever seen
I don’t want to let you go
