Turning of the Wheel

Intro

Mm

Oh-oh, mm

Verse 1

Sunday paper on the kitchen chair

Heavy velvet curtain in the morning air

I count the numbers running down the page

Hoping somewhere that the colors change

Pre-Chorus

But the glue that holds the world

Is sweeter than I knew

A chorus of the ordinary

Singing right on through

Chorus

Give me the turning of the wheel

The slow and steady hum

Baby let the soft machine

Take me where I'm from

Verse 2

Foghorn calling from the harbor wall

A string of lanterns down the empty hall

I trace the hand that wrote my name in blue

Wondering if that hand was ever you

Pre-Chorus

And the rhythm finds the room

Before the sun goes down

Every window swinging open

In this little town

Chorus

Give me the turning of the wheel

The slow and steady hum

Baby let the soft machine

Take me where I'm from

Bridge

Morning wakes the radio

Sings a song I almost know

Sets my feet to tapping low

Sets my heart to letting go

Chorus

Give me the turning of the wheel

The slow and steady hum

Baby let the soft machine

Take me where I'm from

Take me where I'm from
