1.
Be still, my heart, don’t give another leap
Is there no secret that you will keep?
Cards decrypt your desperate cry
Elude, evade, erase, deny
Don’t betray me – I won’t sway
Please just don’t give me away

(chorus)
I merely wanted my fortune told
Leave me be - I am spoken for
You see him there on the table with a crown and a sword
Should mysterious soldiers in black appear
I do not wish to see nor hear
No dark strangers may leave the deck on their own accord

(c)
I cannot foresee without guidance
I cannot agree without proof
For what he tells me cannot be the truth
- Running his finger on the Queen in the middle

He noticed how I fell when he asked me
No kiss and tell - I don’t know
Why could he not just take his gold and go?
- Answering me in the form of a riddle

Heaven forbid should I shiver
Oh good heavens no - did I sigh?
For the life of me I can’t see why...

2.
Gone too far, halfway in crossing the line
What do I care if our planets align?
The tealeaves, stars or crystal ball
May say that I should leave it all
A life of comfort, security
And predictability

(chorus)
I merely wanted my fortune told...
