Like the Wheel

Oh, I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye

Like a fly above is summer all day long

On an island in the heart he has to carry

Past the many you have let into your song

And I said "Oh, my Lord why am I not strong"

Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on

Like the wheel that will take you home

And in the forest someone is whispering to a tree now

This is all I am so please don't follow me

And it's your brother in the shaft that I'm swinging

Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free

And he said "Oh my Lord why am I not strong"

Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on

Like the wheel that will take you home

And on this Sunday someone's sititng down to wonder

Where the hell among these mountains will I be

There's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling

Oh, I could hear you sneak around so easily

And I said "Oh my Lord why am I not strong"

Like the branch that keeps hangman hanging on

Like the branch that will take me home
