Spinning/I do so Wish

Lyrics:

The road keeps on spinning
and I keep on grinning
but I think I’m carried away

The water is coming
the rocks keep receding
But I’ll just keep trudging their way

Stairs reaching up
tower rooms in our heads
none of these things mean a thing

This one’s a peasant
and this one’s a spy
Once they’re dead
they can find a way home.

(Chorus)
I do so wish
to find a theme
to this old life,
so dull I dream
of things found hidden in a book
so far away

The road keeps on spinning
and I keep on grinning
but I think I’m carried away

The water is coming
the rocks keep receding
But I’ll just keep trudging their way
(might as well have my heyday)

Stairs reaching up
tower rooms in our heads
none of these things mean a thing

This one’s a peasant
and this one’s a spy
Once they’re dead
they can find a way home.

(Chorus)
