[00:28.53]There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me"
[00:32.25]It's only because he's lonely
[00:35.46]If the keeper of time runs slowly
[00:38.91]He won't be alive for long
[00:42.33]If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
[00:48.93]With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve? It means nothing
[00:53.07]Through the opium dens and the barroom gin
[00:59.13]In the Belmont chair playing violins
[01:02.70]The gambler's face cracks into a grin
[01:05.73]As he lays down the king of spades
[01:08.82]But the dealer just stares
[01:11.25]There's something wrong here, he thinks
[01:16.38]The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
[01:19.08]And shot dead
[01:35.37]He only wanted more time away from the darkest door
[01:42.12]But his luck it gave in as the dawn light crept in
[01:45.51]And he lay on the floor
[01:49.05]From the hundred year war to the Crimea
[01:52.41]With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear
[01:55.26]To all of the men who have stood with no fear
[01:59.10]In the service of the king
[01:59.97]Before you met your fate be sure you did not forsake
[02:06.18]Your lover may not be around anymore
[02:42.00]There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me"
[02:45.54]It's only because he's lonely
[02:48.78]If the keeper of time runs slowly
[02:52.20]He won't be alive for long
