今日の名曲。

Sting
Shape Of My Heart


最近忙しい中で久々に触れた曲。
でもこんな歌詞とは知らなかった。
溜息の出るような、上手く、深い詞。
韻も結構踏んでる。
今日から早速ヘビーローテーション。

Shape Of My Heart
written by STING & Dominic Miller

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

* repeat

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 nothin'
And find out to their cost
Like those who curse their luck in too many places
And those who smile are lost

* repeat

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