Slight variation Shawna in the lyrics
There's a card game in the courtyard
and the winner loses all
when the judge checks his supper
it's so small
and the hills are grey with trouble
and the dry spring gathers dust
your lover's crying in the valley
she lost her trust
(HARP SOLO)
but there is a road to glory
somehow hidden in the past
behind the gold, behind the treasure
behind the mask
then comes a team of four white horses
and a lady with night-black hair
and she looks to be such a fine one
but is she really there
I've gotta knooooooooow
I've gotta knooooooooow
I've gotta knooooooooooooooooooooooooow.............
that verse there portends trouble at home ...a woman usually in this sentence of trust has to do with a man...I lost respect for him
and the hills are grey with trouble
and the dry spring gathers dust
your lover's crying in the valley
she lost her trust
(HARP SOLO)
the hills are back home
dry spring gathers dust...the guy is neglecting the relationship and now it gathers dust at what once used to be a spring.
the reason she lost respect for him
I think its the travails of the road and its excitement ..a gamble ...you win but lose it all
what you lose is back home
the lady night black hair...team of four white horses
night and day...night trumps white or controls the light...tough one.
please visit Randles Facebook perhaps he will answer you...but it has been a long time ..I doubt it.
