These are heavy times so won't you show your hand I don't mean kiss and tell I'm such a jealous man I throw a flush I reveal my ace The heart's my trump I don't need no picture face I'm laying my cards out on the table place Won't you take my hand Won't you hold my hand now these are heavy times Won't you hold my hand now these are heavy times These are heavy times All clamps and parking fines Too much north and too much south too much of the knave versus the spades I throw a flush I reveal my ace The heart's my trump I don't need no picture face I'm laying my cards out on the table place Won't you take my hand Won't you hold my hand now these are heavy times Won't you hold my hand now these are heavy times oh these are heavy times From a circus ring to a band of gold sometimes there's safety nets sometimes but there's no golden rule I throw a flush I reveal my ace The heart's my trump I don't need no picture face I'm laying my cards out on the table place Won't you take my hand Won't you hold my hand now Won't you hold my hand now Won't you hold my hand now
