He deals the cards
as a meditation
And those he plays
never suspect
He doesnt play for
the money he wins
He dont 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 thats 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 thats not the
shape of my heart
thats not the shape
shape of my heart
And if I told you
that I loved you
Youd maybe think
theres something
wrong
I am 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 thats not the
shape of my heart
Thats not the shape
the shape of my
heart
Thats not the shape
the shape of my
heart
