Just a man, made of blood and bone
Thrown away, all that was once my own
Old and worn, and tired too
Of cold so cold, and blue so blue
Endless love, washed away in the sand
Too much to lose, for just a man
In my time, never had my fill
Of broken hearts, for just a thrill
Letting my love, run through my hands
Too much to lose, for just a man
Don't put too many
Cards on this hard-headed man
Take whatever is yours
And get as far away as you can
No grey clouds, lined with silver and gold
No little boy, to watch me grow old
I play the game, as I know I can
So much to lose, for just a man
So much to ache, so much to break
Too much at stake
