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

Th secred 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 hands

While the memory of it fades

And if I told you that I love you

You'd 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
But that's not the shape of my heart....

I can't believe after so many years I still get nervous about it. I've spent a bit too many years having fun. While I was away I wrote quite a few songs and erm, realise alot of things about not only how much I love you but, life is general I guess. And it's tough sometimes when you have to grow up in public which is more or less what've happened. And erm, well this song is sorta like a, i guess a confession.

Thx readers
