Lyrics

A WHEEL / © Mark Hamby
From the Down at Delmonico’s CD

It’s a story to tell with the moon on the rise
Of a soft April night in the spring of our lives
Impatient and hungry and head over heels
The heart is forgiven whatever it steals

And that’s a wheel that’s turned
Nobody noticed when that bridge was burned
And that’s a wheel that’s turned
Out on the edges where our luck was learned

It’s a story to tell with the moon overhead
Of a long summer heat and the words that were said
Committed and cautious but quick off the line
The newer the vintage the sweeter the wine

And that’s a wheel that’s turned …….

Pictures and poetry tossed in the flames
The towns that you passed on a train
Walk in the shadows that whisper their names
Stand in a cold morning rain

It’s a story to tell with the moon riding low
Of these short autumn days and the first hint of snow
Settled and wealthy and wise in our way
We’ll soon be forgotten whatever we say

‘Cause that’s a wheel that’s turned …
