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
