Three Cards
Laurette Langille's original song Three Cards was
released in 1994 on the Wade In The Rain Records CD
titled a seamless connection. The compilation featured
twelve northwest songwriters and cover art by Rebecca
Maloy (Maloy's piece used as the cover is titled Water and
is copyright 1998). Wade Larsen executive produced the
project and mastering was by Lea Anne Sonenstein at
Airshow Inc., Springfield VA. Three Cards was originally
recorded and mixed in the northwest by Jeff Lindeman at
Soundwave Recording Studio in Birch Bay, WA.
Story behind the song: The lyrics for Three Cards were
inspired by a comment made by Bellingham southsider
Dave Pacheco when he was bartending at Cal's Tavern in
Fairhaven. Laurette was complaining about something
and David wryly commented "The way I see it, you've only
got three choices. Change it, accept it, or let it go."

I will not stumble anymore
will not let my love fall back where it's fallen before
You would never have had me if I were that weak
easily fooled by romance or mystique
I will not allow my love to hurt me this time
And it's better I leave right now, with all that I own
with this pittance of knowledge
it's taken my lifetime to grow
Honey I can't change how you feel
and you never break that first love bond sealed
It's better to leave right now than pretend things
change when I stay
I only got just three cards, three plays I know
I can change, accept or go...
Ooo and I go...
Once I had a dream, long before we met
and I still hold it dear to my heart
you haven't envisioned it yet
I've never had the patience to teach
or the certainty of my dreams to preach
It's better to leave and remember than stay and forget...
I only got just three cards, three plays I know
I can change, accept or go...
