The Wheel

(album: Patty Griffin - 2019)

Here's a song about sitting in a dark room
Losing track of your mind
Here's a song about sitting in a dark room
Knowing you're really lost this time
Knowing you're really lost this time

Here's a song about the rain
Coming down in sheets and sheets
Here's a song about the rain
Coming down in sheets and sheets

Water rising over the rooftops
Water sinking into the ground
Everything that I see around me is
Drifting away or falling down

Here's a song about a man
About a man I never met
Here's a song about a man
About a man I can't forget
Choked to death by a policeman
Said he could not catch his breath
Choked to death by a policeman
For selling single cigarettes

Here's a song about the wheel
Wheel keep a going round and round
Set in motion so long ago now
No one can remember how
Rolling, rolling over the ages
Wheels of war keep rolling on
Numbers and no names on the pages
Who is weak and who is strong
Who is weak and who is strong
Who is weak and who is strong

Here's a song about the wheel
Here's a song about the wheel
Here's a song about the wheel
Here's a song about the wheel
Here's a song about the wheel
Here's a song about the wheel
Here's a song about the wheel
Here's a song about the wheel
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
Wheel keep a going round and round
