Nanci Griffith - The Wing And The Wheel lyrics

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
