Patty Griffin - The Wheel

Here's a song about sitting in a dark room
Losing track of your mind
Here's a song about sitting in a dark room, yeah
Knowing you're really lost this time /x2

Here's a song about the rain
Coming down in sheets and sheets
Here's a song about the rain
Coming down in sheets and sheets
Water rising over the rooftop
Water sinking into the ground
Everything that I see around me
Is drifting away or falling down

Here's a song about a man
About a man I never met
Here's a song about a man, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah
About a man I can't forget
Choked to death by a policeman
Said he could not catch his breath
Choked to death by a policeman
For selling single cigarettes

Here's a song about a wheel
Wheel keep a-going 'round and around
Set in motion so long ago now
No one can remember how
Rolling, rolling over the ages
Wheels of war keep rolling on
Numbers and no names on the pages
Who is weak and who is strong? /x3

Here's a song about a wheel /x8
Wheel keep a-going 'round and around /x9
