"The Wheel"
written by
Karla Bonoff, Andrew Gold, Kenny Edwards & Wendy Waldman
"The Wheel is basically about how everything comes around again. For some it means renewed good fortune and reward, and for others, come-uppance and retribution."
- Andrew Gold
Hey you, why'd you show your face
Did you hear that I was coming back
Back to take my place
You kept me on the bottom
You were up on top
Some things in this life yeah
Even you can't stop
It's been a long time
It took me so many years
I found my way through the tears
Walking against the wind
Wheel keeps spinning
And turns you around again
The past has a funny way
Of coming back to haunt you
And make you pay
For every heart you've broken
And every lie you told
You'll be the last one standing
Out in the cold
It was unspoken
The way that I trusted in you
I thought the dream would come true
Right up until the end
Wheel keeps spinning turns you around again
Some days are just a mystery to me
What some people do
For what they think they need
I'm gonna step aside
And let you pass
'Cause you know as well as I
That nothing lasts
It's been a long time
But now there is no looking back
Seems like it all comes to that
Somewhere around the bend
It's been a long time
It took me so many years
Wheel keeps spinning turns you around again
