He deals the cards as a meditation And those he plays never suspect He doesn't play for money he wins He doesn't play for the respect He deals the cards to find the answer sacred geometry of chance The hidden law of probable outcome The numbers lead a dance
I know that 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 diamonds He may lay 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 art But that's not the shape of my heart That's not 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 I wear is one Those who speak know nothing And find out to their cost 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 shape of my heart That's not the shape of my heart
