Big Wheels

Electric Light Orchestra · Flashback [2000]

I've been thinking it over

So many times they say

You got it made

They never understand

The answer lies within your soul

'Cos no one know which side

The coin will fall



Big wheels turning

Baby I know

Big wheels turning

Baby I know

Big wheels turning, turning



Save it for a rainy day

For when the cold wind blows

To see how they run

I thought they'd know

I tried my best, all I could do

But somehow it was not enough for you



Big wheels turning

Baby I know

Big wheels turning

Baby I know

Big wheels turning, turning

Turning, turning



I remember the dead of night

A lonely light that shines upon the window

I see it all so clear

The tenderness, the silent tears

Out here in the pouring rain

Through cold dark waiting days

I see you standing there

I see the big wheels turning

Never ending, on and on they go



I think I'm going home

I think I'm gonna have to start again

It's rather sad

Because I've looked around, can't seem to find

Whatever's always rolling through my mind



Big wheels turning

Baby I know

Big wheels turning

Baby I know

Big wheels turning, turning

Turning, turning



I remember the dead of night

A lonely light that shines upon the window

I see it all so clear

The tenderness, the silent tears

Out here in the pouring rain

Through cold dark waiting days

I see you standing there

I see the big wheels turning

Never ending, on and on they go
