The Wing And The Wheel

Nanci Griffith


The wing & the wheel
Well they carry things away
Whether it's me that does the leavin'
Or the love that flies away
And the moon out side my window
Looks so lonely tonight
There is a chunk out of its middle
It's big enough for an old fool to hide
Where are all the dreamers
That I used to know?
We used to linger beneath street lamps
With our halos in the smoke
The wing & 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 light in the east
All the stars are in the west
Oh, here's to all the dreamers
May our open hearts find rest
'Cuz the wing & the wheel
Are gonna carry us along
And we'll have memories for company
Long after the songs are sung
Scat: And it's so long and sweet dreams now
From the backstreets of old south Austin
To the dustbowl of my Crickets
To the Straits of Juan de Fuca
All the way to China
Straight across to Dublin
Then again to London
Amsterdam to Christchurch with my blue moon rising
I was a small child with a big dream
Riding a western flyer with a small song
Upon a wing and a wheel
From the northern coast of Scotland
To my flatlands of west Texas
All upon a wing and a wheel
it's all upon the wing and the wheel
