about

Mary Eva Noon Suite (ii)
The title of the track is what Mary must have asked Jeff - or at least herself countless times. It was never going to end well.

lyrics

King or Fool, Knave or Two.
Does Lady Luck know what you do?
It’s not so hard to
Lay down your final card.
Tell me Jeff, which are you?
King, Knave, or Fool?
Lady Luck is cruel,
King, Knave, or Fool?

At the table late, have you got it straight?
Did you draw the King or your lucky eight?
Luck runs deep within you,
Cards just seem to find you.
Just one thing left to do,
Quit before your luck is through.

One day all this must end,
With the wind, we must bend.
Will we stand to fight,
Or shall we run?
Will I still believe, when all your words deceive?
Just one thing for me to do,
Quit before my luck is through.
