“Cards on the table” — The Prophecy
A community reading links "Cards on the table" back to the opening of Foolish One, "My cards are on the table": the same gambler's gesture of full disclosure, everything shown at once. In the earlier song it is the hopeful confession of someone betting on a love that will not be returned; here the same laid-out hand reads as a weary readiness to show everything to a fate that has already been written.
