House Of Cards
Liner notes
This was the opening track of A Bright Cold Day In April. It's not one I play any more. It's not a bad song, it's got some decent lines in it, I just rate other songs more highly.My dreams are built like a house of cards
You’re going to blow, you’re going to blow too hard
Be gentle
You climbed up the stairs like the heroine in a horror movie
Maybe you were scared of something waiting there
To make a meal of you
The writing was on the wall, I read your lips attentively
Feeling small, trying to fall
Out of love with you
My dreams are built like a house of cards
You’re going to blow, you’re going to blow too hard
Be gentle
I feel nothing any more, I should be in misery
Not even sure I’m sore now you’ve pulled away the floor
From beneath me
Instead I am non-plussed, all the cards are on the table
I wish you’d just say if it’s me or us
You’re afraid of
My dreams are built like a house of cards
You’re going to blow, you’re going to blow too hard
Be gentle
