lyrics

A Spinning Wheel

Twenty comes and twenty goes
Where it goes well no-one knows
All I know is I am no longer young
Twenty comes and twenty goes
Where it goes hell no-one knows
A young man yes once I was one
Yes once I was one…

Time is a spinning wheel spinning round and round
An ever turning spinning wheel it never makes a sound
Come one day and you are one the world is in your hands
Next day you are twenty one; time’s slipped through your hands
Time is a spinning wheel, spinning round and round
Spinning round and round.

Thirty comes and thirty fades
What becomes of all the days?
All I know is I am no longer young
Thirty comes and thirty fades
What became of the plans I made?
A young man yes once I was one
Yes once I was one…

Time is a spinning wheel spinning round and round
An ever turning spinning wheel it never makes a sound
Come one day and you are one the world is in your hands
Next day you are thirty one; time’s slipped through your hands
Time is a spinning wheel, spinning round and round
Spinning round and round.

Forty comes and forty goes
Every year is like a blow
And all I know is I am no longer young
Forty comes and forty goes
Like pretty maidens in a row
A young man yes once I was one
Yes once I was one…

Time is a spinning wheel spinning round and round
An ever turning spinning wheel it never makes a sound
Come one day and you are one the world is in your hands
Next day you are forty one; time’s slipped through your hands
Time is a spinning wheel, spinning round and round
Spinning round and round.
