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 outcome
The numbers lead a dance
I know that the spades
are swords of a soldier
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
But that's not the shape
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 on
Those who speak know nothing
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse
Their luck in too many places
Are those who fear a lost
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
of my heart
that's not the shape
shape of my heart
