Lyrics Patty Griffin

Patty Griffin

The Wheel

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
