For Want of a Nail |
| He walked into their town, on a Sunday half past noon |
| Emerging from the forest, after a waning moon |
| His ways are not like ours |
| His flesh is pale and cold |
| His eyes are dead but dreaming |
| Withholding tales untold |
| The church fell silent as he passed, the pastor quaked with fear |
| The stranger shook and mumbled, sundown was drawing near |
| The farmer’s daughter found him, she gave him food and drink |
| That strange girl from the foothills, what would the townsfolk think? |
| His ways are not like ours |
| His flesh is pale and cold |
| His eyes are dead but dreaming |
| Withholding tales untold |
| For want of a nail, the shoe was lost |
| For want of a shoe, the horse was lost |
| For want of a horse, the rider was lost |
| For want of a rider, the battle was lost |
| For want of a battle, the kingdom was lost |
| And all for the want of a horseshoe nail |
| The kingdom was lost |
| And he is the nail |
