It was late after midnight   I was sitting in a tavern   I saw him playing cards   And I went over to the old man   He said: "I read inside the cards   All about your life   Do you want to know it?   So listen to me"      The Queen of Hearts   The Queen of Hearts knows about life   She knows all about the heartache   Of the lovers in the night   Can’t you try to read the signs?   The Queen of Hearts   The Queen of Hearts knows about fate   And the Queen of Hearts, she’s telling me:   "Run home to your love   Run before it is too late"      He shuffled all his cards   And then he started dealing   The Jack of Clubs, then Queen of Hearts   I didn't know the meaning   He said: “You'll lose your lover”   I did not believe a word   But when I got back home   My baby was gone      The Queen of Hearts   The Queen of Hearts knows about life   She knows all about the heartache   Of the lovers in the night   Can’t you try to read the signs?   The Queen of Hearts   The Queen of Hearts knows about fate   And the Queen of Hearts, she’s telling me:   “Run home to your love,   Run before it is too late”      The Queen of Hearts   The Queen of Hearts knows about life   She knows all about the heartache   Of the lovers in the night   Can’t you try to read the signs?   The Queen of Hearts   The Queen of Hearts knows about fate   And the Queen of Hearts, she’s telling me:   “Run home to your love,   Run before it is too late”      The Queen of Hearts   The Queen of Hearts
