It has been a while since there has been a lyric card as well as quite in the game room, well....I love cards, I love games, (= I love card games) & I love music, especially lyrics....I could not wait any longer...... Words by R. Hunter; music by J. Garcia STANDING ON THE MOON Standing on the moon I got no cobweb on my shoe Standing on the moon I'm feeling so alone and blue I see the Gulf of Mexico As tiny as a tear The coast of California Must be somewhere over here - over here Standing on the moon I see the battle rage below Standing on the moon I see the soldiers come and go There's a metal flag beside me Someone planted long ago Old Glory standing stiffly Crimson, white and indigo - indigo I see all of Southeast Asia I can see El Salvador I hear the cries of children And the other songs of war It's like a mighty melody That rings down from the sky Standing here upon the moon I watch it all roll by - all roll by Standing on the moon With nothing else to do A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you Standing on the moon I see a shadow on the sun Standing on the moon The stars go fading one by one I hear a cry of victory And another of defeat a scrap of age-old lullaby Down some forgotten street Standing on the moon Where talk is cheap and vision true Standing on the moon But I would rather be with you Somewhere in San Francisco On a back porch in July Just looking up to heaven At this crescent in the sky Standing on the moon With nothing left to do A lovely view of heaven But I'd rather be with you - be with you ya' know I just had to throw in the moon, but the :TMOON is one card you can disregard

8 Cups? Some sense of sorrow and regret, and the moon is there too.

9 Wands? This poor guy looks as though he has been in battle!

Moongold	19 Jul 2003
5 Swords? The aftermath of conflict - surveying the scene

LaLa	19 Jul 2003
how 'bout the 2 Wands? He's looking awful lonely with the whole world in his hands????

oh......some good guessing, but not quite the discriptions I'm associating with. There is a duality of sorts, yet at the same time opposite..... now isn't that a screwy clue?

Could it be 5 cups ?

lunalafey	21 Jul 2003
YES!!!! at first I was thinking that it's very sword like, but there was some positive to the lyrics, though not alot, some what nostalgic. In 78DW she mentions the cups knocked over & the one's that remain up. The dissapointment in what's happening to the world, as well as taking note of the few accoplishments, and the longing, homesickness, and the emotion tie (but I'd rather be with you) there is more than one emotion focused in more than one direction.

Gee thanks Luna, :) I went to bed after I posted my guess, not thinking it was the one anyway. Wow, I will post one tonight as I am off to work now. Have a great day/night everyone, see you all later. Dark eyes. :laugh:
