Could Tinker be a name? Anyways, what I gather from this brilliant song is that life is unpredictable, seemingly by chance, but it will work out in the end.
In the first verse, it seems that the man is going through a rough time in his life, a "storm". He takes a walk and sits under a tree to think about his life. When he clears away the leaves, there are 7 stones. Thinking something like "what have I to lose?", he goes to the 7th house where he lives and meets a friend to help him through his problems.
The old man is possibly the captain in verse 2. He sees a seagull and follows it, not knowing that he narrowly avoids crashing.
In verse 3, the old man has learned that life should not be taken so seriously, but at the same time, it should not be taken too lightly.
In verse 4 a young farmer comes to the old man, assuming the old man can help him with farming. Before seeing if the old man really knows anything, he gives him money. The old man smiles and walks away.
A tinker is a Traveler, specifically one from Scotland or Ireland. You are correct, the song is about Chance and how the Charecters in the story live by chance and unkwnowling avoid trouble. In the first verse the traveler is caught within a storm and hides beneath a tree. However, the 7th house refers to the 7th house of astronomy, not the 7th house down the street from his house. Im not going to get in the details of astronomy and what the 7th house means, but I believe it means the skys have cleared and the storm has ended...

Im not going to get in the details of astronomy and what the 7th house means, but I believe it means the skys have cleared and the storm has ended through basicly no actions of the traveler.
The old man is not the person actually expiriencing these events he is merely telling the tale. The second verse is very simple, The captain sees a bird and decides to follow it and once again unknowingly avoids catastrophe.
You mean astrology, right? There's a big difference.
This song seems to be about how utterly helpless we are, since everything that happens to these people has nothing to do with the wisdom or foolishness of their choices.
