The Fool
To learn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was lost on my own
Had become a rolling stone
You talked to me
You talked to me

Holding back
A lonely scream
I was giving up my dreams
You danced with me
You danced with me

There's nobody here but you and me in the dark
Why do I stay when I should run away

It's a fools direction
But I'm holding on
Cause I need your love my girl
In a mad and crazy world

Someone broke my heart before
And I promised that no one more
Should let me down
Should let me down

There's nobody here...

It's a fools direction
But I'm holding on
Cause you keep me warm my girl
In a cold cold world

And I need protection
And I need to be held




I just need your love my girl
In a mad and crazy world

Adored this brilliant explanation of the majors. I've been reading cards 52 years, I teach classes and always look for ways to describe the archetypes. This is succinct, humourous and accurate. Thank you so much for this lovely dive into a complicated system!

Thank you so much, that means the world to me! I was trying to find a method of explaining the Trumps in a way that even I could understand ๐Ÿ˜…โ˜†
