Nickel Creek - Seven Wonders lyrics

when shadows fall, he'll close his eyes to hear the clocks unwind powerless to leash the hands of time kindoms 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 cant 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 [instrumental] seven wonders crowed the man knowing six are gone and how the great illusion lingers while the sad confusion lingers all the while illusion lingers on
