You thought we were solid as a rock
You thought we were steady as a clock
But our house was far from bullet proof
Just a shelter with a paper roof
We got scarred in this house of cards
Back to back with jokers, kings and queens
We got lost and lived in separate dreams
We were both afraid to clear the air
Tumbled down and landed as a pair
We fell hard from our house of cards
At last the past is so gone
We can carry on, my love
Everything is calm after the storm
We lay close together to keep warm
Clubs and hearts are scattered everywhere
You and I have nothing left to fear
in the yard of our house of cards
At last the past is so gone
We can carry on, my love
