Shape Of My Heart Lyrics - Sting

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 

That's not the 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 mask I wear is one 

But 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 a loss

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 of my heart 

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