You He didn't see 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 didn't say crowd to find the answer The secret geometry of chance The hidden love of a probable outcome The numbers lead the 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 the sword But that's not the shape of my heart He may play the jack of diamonds He may play 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 the sword But that's not the shape of my heart But that's not the shape Shape of my heart Instrumental And if I told you that I loved you You'd maybe think there's something wrong I'm not a man with too many faces The mask I was one Those who speak know nothing I'm final to their cost Like those who curse at luck in too many places And those who fear lust 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 the sword But that's not the shape of my heart But that's not the shape of my heart But that's not the shape Shape of my heart Instrumental
