When the Cards are Yours
© 2004 Treva Blomquist
Words & Music by: Treva Blomquist

What do you do when the cards are yours but you didn’t want to play the game?
What do you do when the shame is yours but you’re not the one to blame?

Sister of mine, I see you crying from time to time, trying to hide
Inside it lies, It lies so deep and down and dark
You want to run so hard, fly so safe into the arms of love, the arms of love

It’s what you do when the cards are yours but you didn’t want to play the game
And what you do when the shame is yours but you’re not the one to blame

You seek a lighthouse; you think it can be found,
You seek a true love to stick around
You seek a warm bed, you close your eyes but you can’t sleep
You seek a new head without those memories, those memories

Only thirteen, what does it mean
When innocence that’s hers to give is stolen away
I want you to know, I want you to feel
Love can be real; you don’t have to do it alone, so alone

Tears on a pillow, sweet little weeping willow
Stand tall, don’t fall

It’s what you do when the cards are yours
And what you do when the pain is yours
It’s what you do when the cards are yours but you didn’t want to play the game

Got Music?
Deft picking; lovely subtle vocal, delicate but bluesy enough to make it work; intimate song that would stand by itself in any setting because of its loving attention to detail. Loved Treva B's other new tune as well, chose this one only because I want to hear a band behind the other one. Terrific work (thh)! This song needs to be listened with headphones to appreciate the detailed guitar work. The individual guitar parts are nice but mixed together sound so full. Add Treva’s vocals and it makes for a great song. (awr)


What the Folk!
immediately engaging, sweet vocals, could listen to Treva sing endlessly, wonderful clear refined vocals. and that guitar picking outstanding, what a talent. stellar works
