You thought we were solid as a rock
You thought we were steady as a clock
But our house was far fom 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 lie 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
