He deals the cards as a meditation
|
And those he plays never suspect
|
He doesn't play for the money he wins
|
He don't play for respect
|
|
He deals the cards to find the answer
|
The sacred geometry of chance
|
The hidden law of a probable outcome
|
The numbers lead a dance
|
|
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
|
|
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 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, 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
|
|
Well, those who speak know nothin'
|
And find out to their cost
|
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
|
And those who fear 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, the shape of my heart
|
