If it don't work out
If it don't work out
You take the bed & I'll take the couch, if it don't work out
If the fire dies
If the fire dies
You tend the ash & I'll tend the pine, if the fire dies

Darkness always was a friend I knew
Well I've been looking for a light like you

If you have to ask
If you have to ask
I got my heart broke in half, if you have to ask
But I'm a gamblin man
Oh I'm a gamblin man
I come here to play me another hand,
I'm a gamblin man

After all this time it's strange to think
But I could say your name & feel nothing

Oh to find love once
Oh to find love once
My god I thought it'd be enough, just to find love once
But it's come again
Oh it's come again
Stronger now than it's ever been, love has come again

& I've been lonely almost every night
My new love she lays now by my side

& if it don't work out
If it don't work out
You take the bed & I'll take the couch, if it don't work out
