Shape of my heart

I know 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
