The Shape Of My Heart

The LORD saw how great
the wickedness of the human race
had become on the earth,
and that every inclination
of the thoughts of the human heart
was only evil all the time.

The LORD regretted
that he had made human beings on the earth,
and his heart was deeply troubled.
So the LORD said,
“I will wipe from the face of the earth
the human race I have created—
and with them the animals,
the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—
for I regret that I have made them.”

But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
~ Genesis 6



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 the respect
He deals the cards to find the answer
The sacred geometry of chance
The hidden law of 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
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
That's not the shape of my heart
