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 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 this art
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
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 maybe think
there`s something wrong
I`m not a man of too many faces
The mask I wear is one
Those who speak know nothing
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
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
