Big Wheels

(album: Out Of The Blue - 1977)

Big wheels
Keep turning
They turn forever and ever

I've been thinking it over
So many times they say
You got it made
They never understand
The answer lies within your soul
'Cause no one knows which side
The coin will fall

Big wheels turning
Baby, I know
(Or not at all)
Big wheels turning
Baby, I know
(Or not at all)
Big wheels turning, turning

Save it for a rainy day
For when the cold wind blows
Just to see how they run
I thought they'd know
I tried my best
All I could do
But somehow, it was not enough for you

Big wheels turning
Baby, I know
(Oh, nothing but a wheel)
Big wheels turning (No, no, no)
Baby, I know (No, no, no)
Big wheels turning, turning
Turning, turning, turning

I remember the dead of night
A lonely light that shines
Upon the window
I see it all so clear
The tenderness, the silent tears
Out here in the pouring rain
Through cold dark waiting days
I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending, on and on they go

I think I'm going home
I think I'm gonna have to start again
It's rather sad
Because I've looked around
Can't seem to find
Whatever's always rolling
Through my mind

Big wheels turning
Baby, I know
(Through my mind)
Big wheels turning
Baby, I know
Big wheels turning, turning
Turning, turning, turning

I remember the dead of night
A lonely light that shines
Upon the window
I see it all so clear
The tenderness, the silent tears
Out here in the pouring rain
Through cold dark waiting days
I see you standing there
I see the big wheels turning
Never ending, on and on they go

Big wheels... big wheels
