|
The wing and the wheel... they carry things away
|
Whether it's me that does the leavin' or the love that flies away
|
The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight
|
Oh, there's a chunk out of it's middle... big enough for an old fool to hide
|
|
Where are all the dreamers... that I used know?
|
We used to linger beneath street lamps in the halos and the smoke
|
The wing and the wheel... came to carry them away
|
Now they all live out in the suburbs where their dreams
|
Are in their children at play
|
|
There's a pale sky in the east... all the stars are in the west
|
Oh, here's to all the dreamers... may our open hearts find rest
|
The wing and the wheel are gonna carry us along
|
And we'll have memories for company... long after the songs are gone
|
