"Seven Wonders" (where the Roland D-50 patch "Piano-Fifty" was heard) is a song by Fleetwood Mac. It was released as the second single from the band's 1987 album Tango in the Night.

Stevie Nicks performed the lead vocals on this song, which was written by Sandy Stewart with contributed lyrics by Stevie Nicks. While listening to the demo by Stewart (who did not provide any written lyrics), Nicks misunderstood the phrase "All the way down you held the line" as "All the way down to Emmeline", which is what she sang. Nicks also added an ambiguous word, sounding like "Sara" or "Tara", during the breaks between choruses and verses. (The word may refer to Nicks' song "Sara", on Fleetwood Mac's 1979 album Tusk, or even to another Nicks composition on Tango in the Night, "Welcome to the Room... Sara"; the lyrics to the latter song include references to Scarlett O'Hara and Tara, and Nicks has used the name "Sara" several times in the past as a pseudonym for herself.) Some fans have also speculated that she may be saying "Aaron" rather than "Sara" or "Tara." The title of the demo by Sandy Stewart was reportedly called "Aaron." These additions as well as various other changes to the lyrics, led to Nicks' credit as co-writer of the song.

So long ago

Certain place

Certain time

You touched my hand

All the way

All the way down to Emmiline

But if our paths never cross

Well you know I'm sorry but

If I live to see the seven wonders

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again

The rainbow's end

So it's hard to find

Someone with that kind of intensity

You touched my hand, I played it cool

And you reached out your hand to me

But if our paths never cross

Well you know I'm sorry but

If I live to see the seven wonders

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again

The rainbow's end

So long ago

It's a certain time

It's a certain place

You touched my hand and you smiled

All the way back you held out your hand

If I hope and if I pray

Ooh it might work out someday

If I live to see the seven wonders

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again

The rainbow's end

If I live to see the seven wonders

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again

If I live to see the seven wonders

I'll make a path to the rainbow's end

I'll never live to match the beauty again
