Seven Stones Lyrics - Nursery Cryme - Genesis

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 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...

Despair that tires the world 

Brings the old man laughter 

The laughter of the world only grieves him, believes 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 

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... 

Despair that tires the world 

Brings the old man laughter 

The laughter of the world only grieves him, believes him 

The old man's guide is chance...
