Gamble for a Rose

2016
Well you floated in to the room as I started to play
Oh my mind went blank and my fingers lost their way
You doubled the stakes that night on my world, could I not lose?
Oh did you see the love in my eyes, oh were you gazing through this disguise?
I guess you could call this song my gamble for a rose...
Gamble for a Rose
King Charles
Well you floated in to the room as I started to play
Oh my mind went blank and my fingers lost their way
You doubled the stakes that night on my world, could I not lose?
Oh did you see the love in my eyes, oh were you gazing through this disguise?
I guess you could call this song my gamble for a rose
I guess you could call this song my gamble for a rose
Oh soaked in your sunlight my guitar reflects your face
Oh like standing in a rainbow you paint the landscape side breeze
Well you said I was a dark horse but would you ride on it with me tonight?
Oh and take me disappearing through the smoke rings of our minds
And I was alone with my thoughts
I listened to all my savior's savior songs
And I'll wait for you
Oh you know I'll wait for you
When I'm all alone
I guess you could call this song my gamble for a rose
I guess you could call this song my gamble for a rose
Oh with your hand in mine I may be burdened but I will never be broke
With your hand in mine oh I will never be broke
And I was alone with my thoughts
And listened to all my savior's savior songs
And I'll wait for you
Oh you know I'll wait for you
When I'm all alone
I guess you could call this song my gamble for a rose
Oh with your hand in mine I may be burdened but I will never be broke
I guess you could call this song my gamble for a rose
Oh with your hand in mine I may be burdened but I will never be broke
I guess you could call this song my gamble for a rose

This song, the fourth and titular song on King Charles' 2016 album, is written from the perspective of a man playing for a woman he has just met. He hopes to win her love with his song, but recognizes that it is a “gamble”- she might reject him or their relationship may not work out, but he things the risk is worth it.
