Wheel Of Fortune

(album: Another Side Of This Life: The Lost Recordings Of Gram Parsons - 2000)

Fingertips
Rainbows through rings, light my way
Circles caught in my hand
Magic trips
To gather stars in the daytime
You look here in there and you may find
Them blinking in the sand

You wave your wand
To stir the stream of my thinking
Let me know where it winds
To pastel dawns
Show searching knights without armor
The casting cards on the water
While they tell me what they find

The wheel of fortune keeps on turning everyday
And I'd been learning where I stand
And what I want to be
You see...

In the sky
Words appear without meaning
Taking shadows on the sun
But you and I
Can snap our fingers and leave them
And we don't have to believe them
When we're back where we'd begun

Fingertips
Rainbows through rings, light my way
Circles cards in my hand
Magic trips
To gather stars in the daytime
You look here in there and you may find
Them blinking in the sand
