Gambler's Prayer Lyrics

Caroline Polachek Gambler's Prayer

[Verse 1]
Smoke in my hair from the protest flares
For now
But I'm still not sovereign from you
For now
The bus arrives fast, I sit upstairs
Alone
I can hardly breathe knowing you're near
For now

[Chorus]
Oh, but I
Whisper a gambler's prayer
Throwing a thousand-sided die
That I find you in the faces out the window
But they're not yours
Oh, for now
[Verse 2]
Desaturated crowd scene
From a gladly forgotten dream
For now
And I can't accept
That this is what's left
For us

[Chorus]
Oh, but I
Whisper a gambler's prayer
Throwing a thousand-sided die
That I find you in the faces out the window
Oh, I'm still yours
Whispering a gambler's prayer
Throwing a thousand-sided die
That I find you in the faces out the window
But they're not yours
Oh, for now

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
That I find you in the faces out the window
But they're not yours
Oh, for now
