It’s a blue wheel turning, it’s a red cross burning It’s the rumour outside and the silence inside And it’s a blue wheel turning
It’s a blue mind reminding, mouth that’s sending An unknown tune on a lovely june And it’s a blue wheel turning
It’s a strange man remaining, cloud that’s raining It’s a wet face drying, woman trying And it’s a blue wheel turning
And the sea silently goes home, drunken men go to sleep The married ones clean up the mess, only lonely women weep
It’s a merry-go-round, unbearable sound It’s what I’ve heard before in the room next door And it’s a blue wheel turning
It’s eight years lasting, elder man asking Life that floats on a different road And it’s a blue wheel turning
And the sea silently goes home, drunken men go to sleep The married ones clean up the mess, only lonely women weep
See how they leave with their boats See how they leave all behind See their wives longing for dawn See how they slowly turn blind
And the sea silently goes home, drunken men go to sleep The married ones clean up the mess, only lonely women weep And the sea silently goes home, drunken men go to sleep The married ones clean up the mess, only lonely women weep Only lonely women weep, only lonely women weep Only lonely women weep, only lonely women weep
