[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] He may play the jack of diamonds He may lay the queen of spades He may conceal a king in his hand While a memory of it fades [Chorus] [Bridge] That's not the shape, the shape of my heart {Harmonica Solo} [Verse 4] And if I told her 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 [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus] [Outro] That's not the shape of my heart That's not the shape, the shape of my heart
