Album by: Sailing To Philadelphia
Artist by: Mark Knopfler

These tables are haunted
By the ghost of las vegas

Their chips were once mountains
But they came here to play

They could take me if they wanted
But I have nothing worth counting

And like the sands of nevada

They go drifting away

Lady lucks still a mystery
With her head on my shoulder

And I dont know why
I still want her to dance

I guess thats all history
What it is is a Im older

And Im still a fool
For a one-way romance

Her dice were red rubies
They rolled and they tumbled

And I never saw time

Running out with my roll

And in the wasteland of cut glass
My dreams were crumbled

And Ive paid with whatever
I had left for a soul

Now the dawns broken even
On a empty horizon

No reason for folding
No reason to stay

Its too soon to be leaving
Too late for criticising

And the sands of nevada
They go drifting away
