Song information

Artist: Tony Banks

Lyrics

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 its 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 its 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
