And the Wheels Keep Turning

And The Wheels Keep Turning - Tony Banks

And the wheels keep turning all the time

But there's no pounding or purring not a sound

Just a feeling of stirring hold them down hold them down hold them

Down

Yes it might happen this way

You have no warning she is going away

She was the backbone to your life and your plans

And now the unknown holds you down with it's hands

And then you know that there's no turning back from here

And the wheels keep turning all the time

No mechanical churning not a sound

Just a feeling of stirring hold them down hold them down hold them

Down

Yes it might happen this way

She is familiar nothing much more to say

And then the day comes when you look in her eyes

And what you see there takes you quite by surprise

And then you know that there's no turning back from here

People moving going about their day

People planning knowing just what to say

In one year we'll have money to spare

And in five all we require

In ten years we'll have a place of our own

And in forty we'll retire

So we do what we must before we turn to dust

So we do what we must before we turn to dust

And the wheels keep turning all the time

No expansion or burning not a sound

Just a feeling of stirring hold them down hold them down hold them

Down

Yes it might happen this way

You have no warning she is going away

She was the backbone to your live and your plans

And now the unknown holds you down with it's hands

And then you know that it might happen this way

She is familiar nothing much more to say

And then the day comes when you look in her eyes

And what you see there takes you quite by surprise

And then you know that there's no turning back from here
