I see the big wheels turning
Out here in the pouring rain
A lonely light that shines upon the window
Big wheels turning, turning
Big wheels turning, turning
Big wheels turning
Through cold dark waiting days
Big wheels turning
Can't seem to find whatever's
Big wheels turning, turning
The tenderness, the silent tears
I remember the dead of night
I see you standing there
Baby, I know
But somehow it was not enough for you
A lonely light that shines upon the window
Big wheels turning
I see it all so clear
To see how they run
Big wheels turning
Baby, I know
Turning, turning
Save it for a rainy day
The coin will fall
Out here in the pouring rain
I see it all so clear
Through cold dark waiting days
I thought they'd know
I remember the dead of night
Always rolling through my mind
It's rather sad because I've looked around
Baby I know
Big wheels turning
The tenderness, the silent tears
Turning, turning
Baby, I know
For when the cold wind blows
Never ending, on and on they go
Baby I know
You got it made
I think I'm gonna have to start again
The answer lies within your soul
Baby I know
They never understand
I think I'm going home
I see the big wheels turning
I tried my best, all I could do
I see you standing there
Big wheels turning
'Cos no one know which side
