Seven Wonders Lyrics - This Side - Nickel Creek

When shadows fall, he'll close his eyes 

To hear the clocks unwind 

Powerless to leash the hands of time 

Kingdoms fall, the earth revolves 

The rain will come this spring 

And nothing he could say would change a thing 

"Seven wonders", crowed the man 

Knowing six are gone 

And how the great illusion lingers on? 

He can't enfold, the sun or moon 

Or wind within his hand 

But count the times he'll shout,"The Great I Am" 

With all the while, a Pontiff smile 

Veiling his disgrace 

At never owning more than second place 

"Seven wonders", crowed the man 

Knowing six are gone 

And how the great illusion lingers on 

"Seven wonders", crowed the man 

Knowing six are gone 

And how the great illusion lingers 

All the grand illusion lingers 

While the sad confusion lingers on 

La, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la 

La, la, la, la 

...
