I was there when Adam turned the leaf
Jesus wept, oh lord please don't forsake me
And the cards they throw on down
And the cards they throw on down
And the cards they throw on down
I've painted hills with the lost trails of many
I'm the bars with crooked smiles
It's my eyes that guide you stumblin' home the crooked mile
Angel eyes with fallen wings
I was there when Gabriel cried
Oh lord please don't forsake me
And the cards they throw on down
And the cards they throw on down
