Here's the next lyric: The song is "(Moonlight) Shake My Head and Leave" by City boy from 1976. Moonlight... Oh in the moonlight Eyes bright... waiting for daylight Please, don't fight, everythings soooo right High lights... sweet golden goodnights. But there you go, it goes to show, how my imagination flooooows In never ending circles, with glances asking questions We chase each other's alibis And if my voices show me caution, only through your eyes It's only through your eyes Nightlife... seems like a still life Waiting... for unfinished paintings Oh, but meanwhile... time in between smiles Stands still... like some breathless windmill But there you go, it goes to show, how my imaginations floooows... Yeah If the sages say I'm foolish, I'll say your every movement Was like a river, washing over me... over me But if you tell me that it's ended, I'll shake my head and leave Shake my head and leave.

The 8 of cups?

MattDouglas	15 May 2004
Nope... I thought of the 8 of cups for this song, but I picked another one instead.

Gaidheal	15 May 2004
It couldn't possibly be this obvious, but...The Moon?

lunalafey	15 May 2004
High Priestess?

MattDouglas	15 May 2004
No it's not the Moon; Yes, I wouldn't be that obvious. It's not the High Priestess either.

Dakota	15 May 2004
hmmmmmmmm, never ending circles, windmill......... Wheel of Fortune?

MattDouglas	16 May 2004
Good guess, Dakota, but not it! Often my clues are related to the art of the card, but with this one I'm going for for mood and undercurrents.

TemperanceAngel	16 May 2004
Justice?

TemperanceAngel	16 May 2004
Knight of Cups?

MattDouglas	16 May 2004
Sorry Temperance Angel, it's neither of those!

Dark Eyes	17 May 2004
Three of swords...?

Phoenix Rising	17 May 2004
Star!

Dakota	17 May 2004
5 of cups?

MattDouglas	17 May 2004
Nobody has it yet but Dark Eyes is the closest!

Phoenix Rising	18 May 2004
4 of swords in deep meditation

Dark Eyes	18 May 2004
Perhaps the 9 of swords,... ..... Questioning the comittment of the other person, ....insecurities and unfounded fears...?

MattDouglas	18 May 2004
Not yet! But yall are gettin' warmer!

Dark Eyes	19 May 2004
Maybe ten of swords then...? The possible end of a situation, also the promise of a new beginning if the worst happens?

MattDouglas	19 May 2004
It's not exactly the end, Dark Eyes, but you thinking along the right idea. Not quite it though.

Dark Eyes	19 May 2004
Hi Matt D, I guess the lovers is way off the mark, but the lovers can indicate a very close bond even though there are questions around the situation...? ... Maybe Matt D...? :confused:

MattDouglas	20 May 2004
Nope, you're actually getting colder now!

Dark Eyes	20 May 2004
O.K. Well, how about the seven of swords... Some area of mistrust or hidden agendas are peeping through the situation?... :confused:

Phoenix Rising	20 May 2004
It has to be 6 swords, "leaving, imagining and flowing like the river.

MattDouglas	20 May 2004
Y'all are all around it but not quite there yet.

Dark Eyes	20 May 2004
five of swords, and that's my last guess !!!! :grumpy: (.D. is stomping around grouchily)........................................:(

MattDouglas	21 May 2004
Congrats, Dark Eyes, that is the one!!!!! The card may take place during the day, but it look as if there has just been a conflict, but with some uncertainty and different reactions among the various figures on the card, so it's very much a nighttime and by the moon (undercurrents). One is acting like the winner one is playing victim and the other is walking away. So we see that each is still playing games ("chase each other's alibi"), and though at a pause we know there is more to come in the form of other sword pips (nightlife... seems like a still life waiting for unfinished painting.... etc). Each may be wondering what the other persons cards are (How my imagination flooooows). And one decide to simply walk away (shake my head and leave).

Dark Eyes	21 May 2004
Kewl Matt, I like your reasoning !! :) It was tricky, but makes total sense to me now. I should have thought of that one in the first place. Good one. I will retire to my C.D. stand now to find another set of lyrics to tease you all with and get your heads ticking again. and mouths watering... :D Hmmmmm................ let me see....????? Back soon folks, don't y'all go away now y'hear... D.

gloria	21 May 2004
Congratulations Debs.....:)

Phoenix Rising	21 May 2004
Kei te Pai Dark Eyes! Wasn't much swords left aye?

Dark Eyes	21 May 2004
Thanks Gloria and Lu, and you're right, there were very few sword cards left. It was pretty narrowed down huh !! ;) Anyway, could be a day before I get another clue up, but I promise not to keep everybody waiting too long. Go and have your cuppa, or glass of wine and relax for a while. Back soon. Debs.
