Текст песни Steve Hackett and Genesis, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Michael Rutherford - Seven Stones (2008 Digital Remaster) (Nursery Cryme 1971)

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
A-a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-ah

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
A-a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-ah

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
