VERSE 1
|
he deals the cards as a meditation
|
and those he plays never suspect
|
he doesnt play for the money he wins
|
he doesnt play for respect
|
he deals the cards to find the answer
|
the sacred geometry of chance
|
the hidden law of a probable outcome
|
and numbers lead to dance
|
|
CHORUS
|
i know that the spades are the swords of a soldier
|
i know that the clubs are weapons of war
|
i know that the diamonds mean money for this art
|
but thats not the shape of my heart
|
|
VERSE 2
|
he may play the jack of diamonds
|
he may lay the queen of spades
|
he may conceal the king in his hand
|
while the memory of it fades
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
VERSE 3
|
and if i told you that i loved you
|
you may be think there's something wrong
|
i not a man of too many faces
|
the mask i wear is one
|
although i speak, i know nothing
|
i'll find too their cost
|
like those who curse their luck
|
in too many places
|
like those who fear are lost
|
|
CHORUS (to end)
