Ballad of the Gambler Songtext
von JOHNA

It all started so easily
He had a life a job and a home
When he boarded the plane he was satisfied
Felt the wind beneath his wings

He arrived in an ocean of city lights
A playground were dreams come true
Watched total strangers rise and fall
Never thought he could fall at all

All he needs is a marvel
All he needs is new hope
All he needs is a silver lining
To finally get back home

One night he was on a lucky streak
The obsession to win made him high
Was no longer in control of himself
Like a drug addict in need of a hit


All he needs is a marvel
All he needs is new hope
All he needs is a silver lining
To finally get back home

Game after game
Day after day
He lost his home his job and his life
Now he′s living on the street
Begging for a dollar
To win back his life

All he needs is a marvel
All he needs is new hope
All he needs is a silver lining
To finally get back home
All he needs is a marvel
All he needs is new hope
All he needs is a silver lining
To finally get back home

He's been on vacation for 16 years
In a city were life can change in a wink
All he needs is a silver lining
To finally get back home
