Not to mention that the corresponding lines (i.e., the first lines) in the other verses are:

"On a warm summer evening,
On a train bound for nowhere"

"He said, Son I've made a life,
Of reading people's faces"

"Every gambler knows,
The secret to surviving"

"And when he finished speaking,
He turned back to the window"

I think someone doesn't understand how rhyme works - and it's not the writer of The Gambler .....
