And the Wheel Keeps Turning - Tony Banks

And the wheels keep turning

All the time

But there's no pounding or purring

Not a sound

Just a feeling of stirring

Hold them down

Hold them down

Hold them down

Yes it might happen this way

You have no warning

She is going away

She was the backbone

To your life and your plans

And now the unknown

Holds you down with it's hands

And then you know that

There's no turning back from here

And the wheels keep turning

All the time

No mechanical churning

Not a sound

Just a feeling of stirring

Hold them down

Hold them down

Hold them down

Yes it might happen this way

She is familiar

Nothing much more to say

And then the day comes

When you look in her eyes

And what you see there

Takes you quite by surprise

And then you know that

There's no turning back from here

People moving going about their day

People planning knowing just what to say

In one year we'll have money to spare

And in five all we require

In ten years we'll have a place of our own

And in forty we'll retire

So we do what we must

Before we turn to dust

So we do what we must

Before we turn to dust

And the wheels keep turning all the time

No expansion or burning

Not a sound

Just a feeling of stirring

Hold them down

Hold them down

Hold them down

Yes it might happen this way

You have no warning

She is going away

She was the backbone

To your live and your plans

And now the unknown

Holds you down with it's hands

And then you know that

It might happen this way

She is familiar

Nothing much more to say

And then the day comes

When you look in her eyes

And what you see there

Takes you quite by surprise

And then you know that

There's no turning back from here
