HEART LIKE A WHEEL

Paroles et musique : Anna McGarrigle

Some say the heart is just like a wheel

When you bend it you can't mend it

And my love for you is like a sinking ship

My heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

 

They say that death is a tragedy

It comes once and then it's over

But my one only wish is for that deep dark abyss

For what's the use of living with no true lover

 

And it's only love and it's only love

That can break a human being

And turn him inside out

That can break a human being

And turn him inside out

 

When harm is done no love can be won

I know it happens frequently

What I can't understand please

God hold my hand

Is why it should have happened to me

 

And it's only love and it's only love

That can break a human being

And turn him inside out

That can break a human being

And turn him inside out

 

Some say the heart is just like a wheel

When you bend it you can't mend it

And my love for you is like a sinking ship

My heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean

And it's only love and it's only love

And it's only love it's only love

And it's only love it's only love

And it's only love it's only love
