Reisverhalen

Boudewijn de Groot - De Reiziger

Llewellyn Ten of Cups.jpgGeef de reiziger een stoel,
geef hem brood en droge kleren,
laat hem zitten bij de haard.
Hij is overal geweest,
hij die alles heeft verloren,
hij die nooit iets heeft bewaard.
Haal flessen uit de kelder
en haal muziek in huis.
Laat iedereen het horen:
de reiziger is thuis.

Geef de reiziger het woord,
laat de reiziger vertellen.
Maar hij schudt zijn hoofd en wacht.
Hij heeft overal gezocht,
hij heeft nergens iets gevonden
en hij heeft niets meegebracht.
Hij zegt: ik ben veranderd,
ik ben hier niet meer thuis.
Maar laat de kinderen komen,
de kinderen van dit huis.

Laat de kinderen komen,
laat de kinderen komen,
ik heb aan ze gedacht.
Ze zullen mij niet kennen
en ze zullen mij niets vragen.
Ze hebben niets verwacht.

En niemand zal begrijpen
wat ik doen kom in dit huis.
Maar de kinderen zullen zeggen:
de reiziger is thuis.

Geef de reiziger een stoel...

Reis ver, 
Drink wijn,
Denk na,
Lach hard,
Duik diep,
Kom terug.

Roodkapje

Morgan Greer Tarot Bokalen Acht.jpg

Zeg Roodkapje waar ga je heen
Zo alleen, zo alleen...
Zeg Roodkapje waar ga je heen
Zo alleen...

Ik ga bij grootmoeder koekjes brengen
In het bos, in het bos
Ik ga bij grootmoeder koekjes brengen
In het bos

In het bos wonen de wilde dieren
In het bos, in het bos
In het bos wonen de wilde dieren
In het bos

Ben niet bang voor de wilde dieren,
Ben niet bang, ben niet bang
Ben niet bang voor de wilde dieren
Ben niet bang!

Fragment Nederlands kinderliedje

Spinvis - Bagagedrager

Je droomt wel vaker van een feestDe Rider MoJo.jpg
maar hier ben je nog nooit geweest
Iedereen kijkt naar voetbal en een vent zeurt aan je kop
Wat wil die man in hemelsnaam?
Hoe kom je hier en hoe kom je hier vandaan?
En als je wegkomt waarheen wou je dan wel gaan?
Hij praat maar door maar jij dwaalt af
dus je weet niet wie de wedstrijd wint
Als je luistert naar de wolken als je luistert naar de wind
Je agenda en je zonnebril wat doen die hier
nou maar je ligt weer in je eigen bed in je eigen land
en op eens staat alles stil
de motor draait de baby huilt een vogel schreeuwt de dag begint en de snelweg suist (4x)
't Is altijd wat en altijd spijt van al het geld en alle tijd op de onverharde wegen die je naar hier hebben geleid
De ochtenden zijn wit en koud
en hoe je ook je stuur vasthoudt
de wind komt door je handschoenen heen
je vingers zijn versteend
Zo is er altijd iets dat je verlamt
en is het niet de wiet dan is het wel de drank ofzo
het spookt maar in je hoofd
't was lang geleden een eeuwigheid
Je fietste op de afsluitdijk
en ik weet niet wat je er nu van vindt
Als je luistert naar de wolken als je luistert naar de wind (3x)

Joni Mitchell - Little Green

The Hoi Polloi Tarot The Moon.jpgBorn with the moon in Cancer
Choose her a name she'll answer too
Call her green and the winters can not fade her
Call her green for the children who have made her little, green
Be a gypsy dancer

He went to California
Hearing that everything's warmer there
So you write him a letter, say, "her eyes are blue"
He sends you a poem and she's lost to you
Little, green, he's a non-conformer

Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the night's when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes and sometimes
There'll be sorrow

Child with a child pretending
Weary of lies you're sending home
So you sign all the papers in the family name
You're sad and you're sorry but you're not ashamed, little green
Have a happy ending

Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the night's when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow

Written by Joni Mitchell

Electric Light Orchestra (E.L.O) - Starlight

Starlight, I hear you callin' out to meDeSterXVIILlwellynTarot.jpg
Sweet love rollin' across my mind again
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do
And then you run

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' out so far away
Constellation in the sky is smiling down on me, I wonder, wonder why
I can feel you're so real, I can see you're so near
And then you run

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl
You had me all the summer long, little girl

Moonglow, come light the way up to my window
As you roll across the night don't tell nobody that I told you so
I want you, yes, I do, I need you, yes, I do
And then you run

You gotta stop foolin' around,
keep your feet on the ground, little girl,
and starlight will shine all around, little girl
You had me all the summer long, little girl

Starlight, your eyes are lookin' down on me so far away [repeat & fade]

Etta James - At Last

TheLoversVIHousewivesTarot.jpgAt last my love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song

Oh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you

I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known

Oh yeah yeah
You smile, you smile
Oh And then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For you are mine at last

Written by Harry Warren, Mack Gordon

The Beach Boys - God Only Knows

I may not always love youDaliTarotTheLoversVI.jpg
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would livin' do me
God only knows what I'd be without you

God only knows what I'd be without you

The Scene - Iedereen is van de Wereld

Tarot The World.jpgDit is voor de misfits die je
Her en der alleen ziet staan
Die onder straatlantaarns eten
En drinken bij de volle maan

Dit is voor degenen
Die je overal herkent
En deze is voor jou en mij
Want dit is ons moment

En ik hef het glas
Op jouw gezondheid
Want jij staat niet alleen
Iedereen is van de wereld
En de wereld is van iedereen
Iedereen is van de wereld
En de wereld is van iedereen

Deze is voor iedereen die passie heeft
En die voor passie gaat
In het donker kan ik jou niet zien
Maar ik weet dat jij daar staat

En ik hef het glas
Op jouw gezondheid
Want jij staat niet alleen
Iedereen is van de wereld
En de wereld is van iedereen
Iedereen is van de wereld
En de wereld is van iedereen

Rood, zwart, wit, geel, jong, oud, man of vrouw
In het donker kan ik jou niet zien
Maar deze is van ons aan jou

En ik hef het glas
Op jouw gezondheid
Want jij staat niet alleen
Iedereen is van de wereld
En de wereld is van iedereen
Iedereen is van de wereld
En de wereld is van iedereen

Iedereen is van de wereld
En de wereld is van iedereen
Iedereen is van de wereld
En de wereld is van iedereen
Van iedereen van iedereen van iedereen van iedereen van iedereen

Lou Reed - Perfect Day

Vertigo Tarot The Lovers.jpgJust a perfect day
drink Sangria in the park
And then later
When it gets dark, we go home

Just a perfect day
feed animals in the zoo
Then later
a movie, too, and then home

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spend it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

Just a perfect day
problems all left alone
Weekenders on our own
It's such fun

Just a perfect day
you made me forget myself
I thought I was
someone else, someone good

Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
Oh, such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on

You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

Written by Lou Reed

Jim Croce - Time in a bottle

Starwars Tarot The Lovers VI.jpgIf I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

Written by Jim Croce

Eric Clapton - Lay Down Sally

There is nothing that is wrongPulpFictionTarotRiddervanBokalen.jpg
In wanting you to stay here
with me
I know you've got somewhere
to go
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above
Underneath the velvet skies
Love is all that matters
Won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamly
So don't you go and say goodbye
You can lay your worries down and stay with me
And don't you ever leave

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you

Jackie DeShannon - What the world needs now

Morgan Greer Tarot De Keizerin III.jpgWhat the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just to little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross,
Enough to last till the end of time.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just to little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

Lord, we don't need another meadow
There are cornfields and wheat field enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
It's the only thing that there's just to little of
What the world needs now is love, sweet love,
No, not just for some but for everyone.

No, not just for some, oh, but for everyone.

The Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter 23

Pulp Fiction Tarot The Lovers.jpgHello, my love
I heard a kiss from you
Red magic satin playing near, too

All through the morning rain
I gaze - the sun doesn't shine -
Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind

In the garden - I see west
Purper shower, bells and tea
Orange birds and river cousins dressed in green

Pretty music I hear - so happy
And loud - blue flower echo
From a cherry cloud

Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue
Playgrounds will laugh if you try to ask
Is it cool?, is it cool?

If you arrive and don't see me
I'm going to be with my baby
I am free - flying in her arms, over the see

Stained window, yellow candy screen
See speakers of kite - with velvet roses diggin' freedom flight

A present from you - Strawberry letter 22
The music plays, I sit in for a few

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

A present from you - Strawberry letter 22

Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh...

Diana Ross - Do You Know Where're You Goin' To?

DaliTarotBokalen8.jpgDo you know where you're goin' to?
Do you like the things that life is showin' you?
Where are you goin' to? Do you know?

Do you get what you're hopin' for
When you look behind you, there's no open doors
What are you hopin' for? Do you know?

Once we were standin' still in time
Chasing the fantasies that filled our minds
You knew how I loved you but my spirit was free
Laughin' at the questions that we once asked of me

Do you know where you're goin' to?
Do you like the things that life is showin' you
Where are you goin' to? Do you know?

Now looking back at all we've planned
We let so many dreams just slip through our hands
Why must we wait so long before we see
How sad the answers to those questions can be

Do you know where you you're goin' to?
Do you like the things that life is showin' you?
Where are you goin' to? Do you know?

Do you get what you're hopin' for
When you look behind you, there's no open doors
What are you hopin' for? Do you know?

Crosby Stills Nash & Young - Our House

I'll light the fire, you place the flowers
in the vase that you bought todayCosmic Tarot The Lovers.jpg
Staring at the fire for hours and hours while I listen to you
Play your love songs all night long for me, only for me

Come to me now and rest your head for just five minutes, everything is good
Such a cosy room, the windows are illuminated by the evening
Sunshine through them, fiery gems for you, only for you

Our house is a very, very, very fine house, with two cats in the yard, life used to be so hard
Now everything is easy 'cause of you and our la, la, la...

VRIJE VOGELS DIE WETEN ZICH ALTIJD UIT DE NESTEN TE WERKEN Loesje

Klein Orkest - Over De Muur

TheDruidAnimalOracleRaven.jpgOost-Berlijn, unter den Linden.
Er wandelen mensen langs vlaggen en vaandels.
Waar Lenin en Marx nog steeds op een voetstuk staan.

En iedereen werkt, hamers en sikkels,
Terwijl in paradepas de wacht wordt gewisseld.
40 Jaar socialisme, er is in die tijd veel bereikt...

Maar wat is nou die heilstaat,
Als er muren omheen staan?
Als je bang en voorzichtig met je mening moet omgaan?
Ach, wat is nou die heilstaat, zeg mij wat is 'ie waard,
Wanneer iemand die afwijkt voor gek wordt verklaard?

En alleen de vogels vliegen van Oost- naar West-Berlijn.
Worden niet teruggefloten, ook niet neergeschoten.
Over de muur, over het IJzeren Gordijn,
Omdat ze soms in het westen, soms ook in het oosten willen zijn.
Omdat ze soms in het westen, soms ook in het oosten willen zijn.

West-Berlijn, de Kurfürstendamm!
Er wandelen mensen langs porno en peepshow.
Waar Mercedes en Cola nog steeds op een voetstuk staan.

En de neonreclames, die glitterend lokken:
Kom dansen! Kom eten! Kom zuipen! Kom gokken!
Dat is nou 40 jaar vrijheid, er is in die tijd veel bereikt...

Maar wat is nou die vrijheid, zonder huis, zonder baan?
Zoveel Turken in Kreuzberg die amper kunnen bestaan.
Goed... je mag demonstreren, maar met je rug tegen de muur,
En alleen als je geld hebt, dan is de vrijheid niet duur.

En de vogels vliegen van West- naar Oost-Berlijn
Worden niet teruggefloten, ook niet neergeschoten.
Over de muur, over het IJzeren Gordijn,
Omdat ze soms in het oosten, soms ook in het westen willen zijn.
Omdat er brood ligt soms bij de Gedächtniskirche, soms op het Alexanderplein!

Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry on Their Own

Zwaarden3LegacyoftheDivineTarot.jpgAll I can ever be to you is a darkness that we knew
And this regret I got accustomed to
Once it was so right
When we were at our height
Waiting for you in the hotel at night
I knew I hadn't met my match
But every moment we could snatch
I don't know why I got so attached
It's my responsibility
You don't owe nothing to me
But to walk away, I have no capacity

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I don't understand
Why do I stress the man
When there's so many bigger things at hand?
We could've never had it all
So this is inevitable withdrawal
Even if I stop wanting you
And perspective pushes through
I'll be some next man's other woman soon
I cannot play myself again
I should just be my own best friend
Not fuck myself in the head with stupid men

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, in this blue shade
My tears dry on their own

I wish I could sing no regrets
And no emotional debt
'Cause as we kissed goodbye, the sun sets
So we are history
Your shadow covers me
The sky above ablaze
That only lovers see

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, my blue shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I''m grown
And in your way, my deep shade
My tears dry on their own

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way, my deep shade
My tears dry on their own

Written by Amy Winehouse, Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson

Jimmy Cliff - Many Rivers to Cross

Six of Swords Celtic Tarot.jpgMany rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white Cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be in on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I gotta try.
Many rivers to cross but where to begin,
I'm playing for time
There'll be times when I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime.

I've got many rivers t cross
But I can't seem to find my way
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white Cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for my years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.

America - A Horse With No Name

The Prairie Tarot Knight of Wands.jpgOn the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la la la la la la la la la la la la

The Prairie Tarot Knight of Cups.jpgAfter two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert sun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for tot give you no pain
La, la la la la la la la la la la la la

The Prairie Tarot Knight of Swords.jpgAfter nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

The Prairie Tarot Knight of Pentacles.jpgYou see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la la la la la la la la la la la la

David Bowie - Changes

DavidBowieTarotDeckRadvanFortuinX.jpgOh, yeah MmmDavidBowieTarotRadvanFortuinX.jpg

Still don't know what I was waitin' for
And my time was runnin' wild
A million dead end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse
How the others must see the faker
I'm much to fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
There's gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time

Mmm, yeah

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame?
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time
Strange fascinations fascinate me
Ah, changes are takin'
The pace I'm goin' through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Ooh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can"t trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

The Beatles - The Long and Winding Road

HousewivesTarotDeZegewagenVII.jpgThe long and winding road
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to your door

The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door

Written by John Lennon, Paul McCartney
