OK, here we go! OUR LADY OF THE WELL It is a dance we do in silence Far below this morning sun You in your life, me in mine We have begun Here we stand and without speaking Draw the water from the well And stare beyond the plains To where the mountains lie so still But it's a long way that I have come Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun Where the families work the land as they have always done Oh it's so far the other way my country's gone Across my home has grown the shadow Of a cruel and senseless hand Though in some strong hearts The love and truth remain And it has taken me this distance And a woman's smile to learn That my heart remains among them And to them I must return But it's a long way that I have come Across the sand to find you here among these people in the sun Where your children will be born You'll watch them as they run Oh it's so far the other way my life has gone If you look for me, Maria You will find me in the shade Wide awake or in a dream It's hard to tell-- If you come to me, Maria I will show you what I've made It's a picture for our lady of the well Jackson Browne, (For Everyman album)

All good guesses, but not yet. But you guys are definately on the right track! Arcana

5 of Cups?

arcanalefait	22 Jul 2004
No...not the High Priestess 2 of Swords 6 of Swords Queen of Swords 5 of Cups I was thinking of why he has gone there...and what he has decided... Arcana

Eco74	22 Jul 2004
8 of cups?? I've had several guesses in my mind before and decided to see if one stuck but I've actually forgotten them all, except for the two of cups which turned out to not be the right answer, atleast I don't think it is... Though, could it be the lovers? What with the choice and all...

Anna	22 Jul 2004
hmmm.....strength?

mercenary30	22 Jul 2004
How about Six of Cups?

Luminessence	22 Jul 2004
Judgment?

arcanalefait	22 Jul 2004
No...the guesses were a lot closer before! Its not the: High Priestess 2 of Swords 6 of Swords Queen of Swords 5 of Cups 8 of cups Strength 6 of cups Judgement In my interpretation of the lyrics, he has retreated from his homeland because he is disappointed by what is happening there. But once he has been away for a while and contemplated the situation, he decides that he has to go back--for better or worse, that is where he belongs. Hope that helps! Arcana

8 of Swords?

hyatt	24 Jul 2004
5 of swords

hyatt	24 Jul 2004
no, no, no... I change my answer I'm going with the 4 of swords.

Satori	24 Jul 2004
I'm going to say the Fool, but I'm quite sure I'm wrong because the journey this guy is taking is very concious and deliberate, so...yes, that will be my answer. The Fool

Anna	25 Jul 2004
This is hard! Ok, a long shot.....the chariot?

Eco74	25 Jul 2004

5 of Wands?

MattDouglas	26 Jul 2004
9 of wands! He has to go back and defend those old posts even though they aint protecting anything no more!

arcanalefait	26 Jul 2004
Hyatt has it! The four of swords! In my interpretation, he has retreated from the turbulence of his homeland to a safer haven, where he could rest and contemplate his next move. On to you, Hyatt! Arcana

Anna	26 Jul 2004

hyatt	27 Jul 2004
