Patty Griffin - The Wheel Lyrics

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
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' a song about the wheel
Wheel keeps 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 But who is weak and who is strong?
Here's a song about the wheel
