The Fool? The singer seems to be a traveller, who can't stay in one place, always has to be on the way to the horizon... Or the Knight of Cups? I get the feeling that the verses are being sung to different women on his journey?

Mystic Zyl	30 Nov 2003
Dark Angel both are good guesses, but that is not the card I had in mind.

The eight of cups comes immediately to mind. Someone going into the hills leaving the past behind.

Four of Cups? He feels the relationship is stagnating and decaying around him, and he has to get out, even though he still cares for her (possibly she's his child rather than his lover, so he's leaving her mother rather than his 'baby'), and he doesn't want to know how things turn out in case he was wrong and regrets his decision. In this interpretation, I don't think I like him at all!

6 of Swords?

Black dragon	01 Dec 2003
Well The 8 cups would have been my first choice followed by the 6 swords but seems I am too late So i'll have to go for th e 7 of Swords, Coz he seems to be running away, dispite liking the person he's running out on them. Black Dragon

Well, all great answers, but no. Dark Angel you made such a compelling point on your last answer I almost changed my answer.

Mystic Zyl	01 Dec 2003
Hint, look at his life as a cycle.

Dark_angel	01 Dec 2003
Wheel of Fortune? When you said cycle you got me thinking... maybe it's not 'his' song, maybe he wrote it when he was successful, and things have gone wrong and this is him saying goodbye to his fans and friends as he leaves that part of his life behind. He's gone from anonymity to fame to anonymity again, and is on the road again.

Mystic Zyl	01 Dec 2003
I guess that was a good hint. The Wheel of Fortune it is! Okay Dark Angel your turn for a tune.

Dark_angel	01 Dec 2003
Yay! Thanks Mystic Zyl, that was a great one... Hope you guys don't mind waiting a few hours - I'm in uni at the moment, but will start the next one when I get home!
