Seven Stones (2007 Stereo Mix)

I heard the old man tell his tale

Tinker, alone within a storm

And losing hope he clears the leaves beneath a tree

Seven stones lay on the ground

Within the seventh house a friend was found

And the changes of no consequence will

Pick up the reins from nowhere

Sailors in peril on the sea

Amongst the waves a rock looms nearer and not yet seen

They see a gull flying by

The captain turns the boat and he asks not why

And the changes of no consequence will

Pick up the reins from nowhere

(Nowhere)

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Despair that tires the world brings the old man laughter

The laughter of the world only grieves him

Believe him

The old man's guide is chance

I heard the old man tell his tale

Farmer, who knows not when to sow

Consults the old man clutching money in his hand

And with a shrug, the old man smiled

Took the money, left the farmer wild

And the changes of no consequence will

Pick up the reins from nowhere

(Nowhere)

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Despair that tires the world brings the old man laughter

The laughter of the world only grieves him

Believe him

The old man's guide is chance
