The Wheel

The Wheel (Album Version) - Rosanne Cash

How long was I asleep

When did we plan to meet

Have you been waiting long for me

When did the sky turn black

Do you still want me back

I'll pick it all up piece by piece

And the wheel goes round round

And the flame in our souls it will never burn out

And the wheel and the wheel goes round

I am a river with a voice

I came into your life by choice

And none can judge the way that feels

You are a messenger from God

You are the angel I forgot

And none can say that it isn't real

And the wheel goes round round

And the flame in our souls it will never burn out

And the wheel and the wheel goes round

Well I'm not looking for your answers

Oh darling don't you see

Just to know the question is good enough for me

Take up the hearts you came to heal

Put down your dagger and your shield

You need have nothing now for me oh

I see the essence of the man

I stand before you as a friend

The truth moves through us even when we sleep

And the wheel goes round round

And the flame in our souls it will never burn out

And the wheel goes round round

And the flame in our souls it will never burn out

And the wheel and the wheel goes round
