Sting - Shape Of My Heart lyrics

He deals the cards as a meditation

And those he plays never suspect

He doesn`t play for the money he wins

He don`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 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 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 that`s not 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 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 that`s not the shape of my heart

That`s not the shape, the shape of my heart

That`s not the shape, the shape of my heart
