Bet It All (Red Or Black)

from When Autumn Comes by Gary Johnstone

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    When Autumn Comes is my fifth full solo album. I wrote most of the tracks between 2018-2020 and recorded, produced and mixed it myself during the covid lockdown 2020.

    It's a bit more reserved collection than the last few albums. Almost every track is backed by acoustic guitars and piano which brings the lyrics and melodies to the fore. Themes revolve around personal experiences with relationships and the frustration of lockdown.

    Includes unlimited streaming of When Autumn Comes via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

I had time on my hands, I had cash in my bank
I had love in my heart, and I was happy at last
I had a hunger for life, and a taste for success
Tidyed up all my thoughts, squared them up on a shelf

Oh but you never know what you got til it's gone
And sure enough I gave it back
I would have been safer betting red or black but

Bet it all bet it all bet it all on you
Bet it all bet it all bet it all on you
Red or black even green but it came back blue
Cos i, bet it all bet it all bet it all on you

You took all I could give, and stole away in the night
Try to tell me I'm wrong, but baby I still know I was right
Now starting from scratch I'll be true, to the things I should never let go
Like feeling the music and playing the blues, you gave me but you'll never know

Cos once in a while, the road forks away,
And lord don't I know it's a fact
I would have been safer betting red or black but
