[Verse 1] You set the card beside the chipped blue cup Three blades crossed where the red heart’s drawn I thought the truth would make a cleaner cut But it stayed in the room till dawn [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to call it fate You don’t have to make it kind Some doors close with a little grace Some leave the hinge behind [Chorus] Three of swords, tell me what I know Love can break and still let go Let the rain fall through the seam I can wake up from this dream Three of swords, lay the picture down I’ll carry what was good from town to town [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs behind the kitchen door The bus rolls past the window, late again I read the card, then read it once more A heart can hurt and still mend [Pre-Chorus] No grand sign above the street No answer tucked beneath the flame Just my two feet beneath me And the courage to say your name [Chorus] Three of swords, tell me what I know Love can break and still let go Let the rain fall through the seam I can wake up from this dream Three of swords, lay the picture down I’ll carry what was good from town to town [Instrumental Break: guitar solo trading phrases with dubby keyboard] [Bridge] The card can name the wound It can’t decide what comes next I’ll sweep the glass by noon And leave the window cracked [Final Chorus] Three of swords, now I know Love can break and still let go Let the day come through the seam I can wake up, I can dream Three of swords, lay the picture down I’ll carry what was good, but I won’t turn around [Outro] The cup is dry, the morning starts Three blades drawn across a heart
