Sam (Maybe He Can Come To Some Arrangement) Lyrics

Sam the man, he cut the cards
And blinked across the room
Trying to cut the smell of smoke and booze
And stale perfume
He dealt around the final hand
Knowing he was hot
That final game he cried in shame
That he'd learnt to count the cost

Maybe we can come to some arrangement
Maybe we can come to some arrangement

He left the place a broken man
His life a total ruin
Not really knowing much of what
He was doing

Fell down on the sidewalk
Some name upon his lips
"If only I could see her
And the kids"

Maybe we can come to some arrangement
Maybe we can come to some arrangement
Maybe we can come to some arrangement
Maybe we can come to some arrangement

They took him to a downtown pound
Threw him in a cell
A drunken heap, he felt so
Weak as well

Come the dawn a note was found
Torna nd badly spelt
From Sam the man who was hanging From his belt

Maybe we can come to some arrangement
Maybe we can come to some arrangement
Maybe we can come to some arrangement
Maybe we can come to some arrangement
