Lyrics by Marcus Lloyd

[Intro]
She gave you the best years of your life
Just for you to go and leave her in the night
You gave her your word, said that she was your girl
Now your words don’t mean nothing to her

[Verse 1]
If you have a good lover, don’t leave her for another
Spending nights in your car with someone else in your arms
You may fool her once, twice if you’re lucky
But you’ll be the fool, man, you’ve just gotta trust me

It’s easy to find some brighter blue eyes
But it’s gonna be to say your goodbyes

[Chorus]
’Cause you don’t miss the sunshine
Till the it start to rain
You don’t know what you had
Till she walks away
You don’t ask for a miracle, if you can’t pray
Yeah, loving her was easy
Letting her go was dumb….
You had a good lover, boy
Now you ain’t got one

[Verse 2]
So she walked away and your life’s went astray
Now You’re praying for the day she’ll come home
But she moved on fast,
found a man who wouldn’t pass
On loving her the way she deserved all along

Now you’re asking if this life’s worth living
Funny how the truth hits harder when it’s gone
If you’d learned how to love her back then
You’d still have the world to lean on

[Bridge]
But If you’re hearing this song and you still got her hand
Don’t make the same mistakes I did, man

[Final Chorus]
’Cause you don’t miss the sunshine
Till the sky turns gray
You don’t know what you had
Till she walks away
Yeah, loving her was easy
Letting her go was dumb
You had a good lover, boy
Now you ain’t got one

F

Midnight Rain

Verse 1
As the storm was raging
Her love was fading
He could tell by her eyes
Something weren’t right

The sky turned grey as her heart slipped away
They argued through the night
’Bout what he done weren’t right

Chorus
Now it’s midnight rain on a lonesome town
Thunder talking like her breaking down
Every drop keeps calling her name
And it sounds like goodbye in the midnight rain

Verse 2
The rain kept falling
On her suitcase by the door
He stood there silent
Knowing he’d see her no more

The wind blew colder
As her shadow disappeared
And the sound of thunder
Was all he ever heard

Chorus
Now it’s midnight rain on a lonesome town
Thunder talking like her breaking down
Every drop keeps calling her name
Lord, it sounds like goodbye in the midnight rain

Bridge
Neon lights are humming, but they don’t shine like her
Every shadow in the bar reminds him of what’s gone for sure

Final Chorus
Now it’s midnight rain on a lonesome town
No more fighting, no more turning around
If love’s a sin then he’ll take the blame
And wash it down in the midnight rain

Playing blackjack late on a Tuesday night,
wake up Wednesday morning to pick a fight.
You play to win but you don’t get far,
the only thing you get is a broken heart.

one day too soon am gonna grow too old, chasing those 7 s have only made me cold.


A gambling man has no other plan than to win, you trade your aces and kings for the sin.

You lose so you can win but it’s more than you can show,
If you haven’t learned by now,
then you’re never going to know.

I’ve heard all the tales about people chasing the coin,
keep chasing and it’s your maker your gonna join,

If you’re in too deep and i can’t find a way out,
that’s the life of a gambler when he’s going through a drought.

if you haven’t learned by now
then I guess you’ll never know,
chasing those 7s will only make you cold.

As I write these words Its about a day in my life,
I can’t see a day in the future where it’s gonna go right,

one day I’ll win but how long will it last,
im driving down this road, but im driving too fast,

admitting im lost is gonna be the hardest part,
but too tell you the truth would only tear us apart

if you find a way out then please let me know,
Cause I found those 7s but now I only feel the cold.

I used to think,
that our love was set in stone.
And I never thought that we’d
have an unhappy home.
But there came a day when your love it went away
and now I know that you don’t feel the same

Chorus
Cause you don’t even call me by my name, you won’t even watch me as I get changed,
It’s feel like I’m playing a loosing game
And I think it’s time. That I realise,
you don’t even call me babe.

Now I suppose,
That I could go on without you,
but my heart… it keeps telling me not to doubt you,
but is my love going to be in vain
or are you just going to pour it down the drain…

Chorus
Cause you don’t even call me by my name, you don’t even watch me as I get changed,
It feels like I’m playing a loosing game
And I think it’s time. That I realise
You don’t even call me babe.


so now it turns out, that you’ve found another guy,
You didn’t even give me a reason as to why, so my worlds been turned upside down,
And im going to drink this beer
Because he has my crown.

you won’t even call me by my name,
you just want me to feel the shame,
It’s feels like I’ve lost at this silly game
And I think it’s time. That I realise,
you’ll only ever call him babe.

Verse 1

Coming out the bookies, feeling ten foot tall,
It’s friday night, but I’ve won fuck all
Feeling like an ounce, and a woman by me side,
Got the whole world spinning, but I feel alive…

But she hasn’t seen the worst of me,
Nearly in tears when I couldn’t leave,
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that bad,
I’ve got me own front door and stn that Ive never had.

The bills are paid, there’s food in the fridge,
But I’m stood on the edge off this old steel bridge,

And the way this is going,
I know I’ll be owing,
Just how much I’ve got left,
I don’t wanna be knowing….

Chorus

’Cause when you’re sitting there waiting on the ace of spades,
Hoping it’ll bring back the sunshine to your days,
You’ll be sitting there in the pissin down rain,
Chasing that feeling, going round again.

And the world’s still turning outside that door,
You’ve got everything you need, but ye ask for more,

One day it might be too late?
But you’re still gonna wait for that ace of spades…


Verse 2

Now it’s Sunday mornin’ and you’re all spent out,
Blew yer monthly wages on somebodies couch,
Now yer thinkin’, this is a bit of a mess,
Yer mate’s got work, wants ye at some mad address.

The money’s good, but ye know what ye’ve got to do,
Think about yer boy and yer bird, and everything you’d lose,
There’s a knock at the door and yer phone starts to ring,
Yer boy wants his dad, but ye can’t buy him a thing.

Yer mate says, “do this and it’ll sort ye right out,”
But there’s a voice in yer head that’s filled with doubt,
‘Cause the money comes quick, but the price is steep,
And there’s promises you’ve made that you’ve got to keep.

There’s a little pair of shoes by the side of the bed,
A thousand things to do, a thousand things in me head,
And I keep lookin’ for a way to make it all alright
But I can’t see meself getting through the night…..

Final Chorus

‘Cause I’ve been sittin’ here, waitin’ on the ace of spades,
Hoppin’ it’ll bring back the sunshine to me days,
While I’m sat here in the pissin’ down rain,
Chasin’ that feelin’, goin’ round again.

And the world’s still turnin’ outside that door,
I’ve got everything I need, still I’m askin’ for more,
God knows how long I’ve got left to change,
Before I lose the ones who love me just the same.

Outro

So I’ll put down the cards, let the next one fall,
There’s a light on at home, and she’s waitin’ after all,
I’ve been searchin’ for a winner, been lookin’ for a way,
After all this time they was the ace I had tucked awayyy…
