The wing and the wheel... they carry things away
Whether it's me that does the leavin' or the love that flies away
The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight
Oh, there's a chunk out of it's middle... big enough for an old fool to hide
Where are all the dreamers... that I used know?
We used to linger beneath street lamps in the halos and the smoke
The wing and the wheel... came to carry them away
Now they all live out in the suburbs where their dreams
Are in their children at play
There's a pale sky in the east... all the stars are in the west
Oh, here's to all the dreamers... may our open hearts find rest
The wing and the wheel are gonna carry us along
And we'll have memories for company... long after the songs are gone
"Sometimes in life we look around at one another and become very complacent.
And this is a song that I wrote for two friends of mine that reminded me in the most glorious way that
there's no need for any human being to ever be complacent."
The Wing And The Wheel
The wing and the wheel... we know ..they carry things away
Whether it's me that does the leaving or the love that flies away
The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight
there is a chunk out of it's middle... it's big enough for an old fool to hide
Now where are all the dreamers... that I used to know?
We used to linger beneath street lamps with our halos in the smoke
Then the wing and the wheel... they came to.. carry them away
Now they all live out in the suburbs where their dreams
Are in their children at play
There's a pale sky in the east... all the stars are in the west
Oh, and here's to all the dreamers... may our open hearts find rest
Cuz the wing and the wheel they're gonna.. carry us along
And we'll have memories for company... it's long after the songs are sung.
...so long now...
The thought that she may not tour again in the UK is difficult to accept. I just hope for one more chance to see her in concert and travel with her on her magical musical journey
