Lyrics/Chords 1988.Recorded March,2007.This is quite a spiritual song for me,as I wrote it when I was still at school,and it makes me think of lying in the fields during lunchtime and lying in the grass looking up at cloudless blue skies.There was an old gypsy man who used to live in a wooden caravan with shire horses and instead of thinking about a career I used to aspire to what seemed to be his way of life - free.In the song even though I'm using quite sparkly romantic chords,I'm trying to convey in the lyrics that here is a someone willing to tell you what you want to know about the past or future,but at a price you may regret but he is not someone to be messed with or taken lightly,though in appearance he seems like a happy spirit,wild and free.Some 'Yes' fans may also hear their influence in this tune as I was heavily into 'Close To The Edge' in 1988!
footnote:
if you listened to this drugged up or on a reccomendation from me,your future will be fucking on FIRE!!!

Lyrics
** The Old Fortune Teller **
I can see the past I hold it in my hand
All the trouble that you reap
And the soldiers that will sleep
And I can see the future and its in my eyes
When the trees will tell you stories like
Youve never heard before
La La La...
Just like a stream your life goes running by
And the bells begin to chime,celebrate the end of time
Steeples rise and mornings sing their song again
And I turn around to see
The human race look back at me
La La La...
In time...
In time...
I have been sleeping for a 1000 years
But now I sing again
The stars will shine above for you and I
I wish for now and then
And when the colours fade I shall return
And watch the stormy skies
All things shall come to you if you believe
The teller never lies
Cross my palm with silver
I'll tell you what you want to hear
Cross my palm with silver
Now hunt me for a 1000 years
Cross my palm with silver
I'll tell you what you REALLY fear -
Cross my palm with silver
And soon your pain shall dissapear..
La La La...
In time..

The singing/voice was again excellent. To me you have different voices on every song. The only thing that gives you away is a slight accent underlying words.
I enjoyed the story and could see how you might have been influenced.
Take care.
