"Love is a losing game" - Amy Winehouse


For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

One I wish I'd never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

Self-professed profound
'Til the chips were down
Know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though I battle blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game.


Del álbum "Back to black" (2006)

Una pena que haya muerto tan joven. Tan pronto.

Una pena que, aunque suene a cliché, el artista sea frágil y sensible. Y que el éxito tan temprano lo arrolle sin compasión.

Larga vida a Amy Winehouse.


PD: Aquí está la entrada que le dediqué cuando la descubrí en 2007.
