Lyrics
Watching The Wheels
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm O. K., well they look at me kind of strange
"Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game?"
People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?"
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round, I just had to let it go
People asking questions, lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well, they shake their heads and look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round, I just had to let it go
