Song language: English
Seven Stones |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
