He deals
the cards as a
meditation
And those he
plays never
suspect
He doesn't play for the
money he
wins
He doesn't
play for
respect
He deals the
cards to find the
answer
The sacred
geometry of
chance
The hidden law of a
probable out
come
The numbers
lead a dance
I know that the
spades are
swords of a
soldier
I know that the
clubs are weapons of
war
I know that diamonds mean
money for this
art
But that's not the
shape of my
heart
He may
play the jack of
diamonds
He may
lay the queen of
spades
He may conceal a
king in his
hand
While the memory
of it fades
I know that the
spades are
swords of a
soldier
I know that the
clubs are weapons of
war
I know that diamonds mean
money for this
art
But that's not the
shape of my
heart
That's not the
shape,
the shape of my heart.
And if I
told you that I loved
you
You'd maybe
think there's something
wrong
I'm not a man of
too many
faces
The mask
I wear is one
Those
who speak know
nothing
And
find out to
their cost
Like those who curse their luck
in too many
places
And those
who smile are lost
I know that the
spades are the
swords of a
soldier
I know that the
clubs are weapons of
war
I know that diamonds mean
money for this
art
But that's not the
shape of my
heart
That's not the
shape of my
heart
That's not the
shape,
shape of my heart.
