[Verse 1]
The wing and the wheel, oh, they carry things away
Whether it's me that does the leavin'
Or the love that flies away
The moon outside my window looks so lonely tonight
Oh, there's a chunk out of its middle
Big enough for an old fool to hide

[Verse 2]
Where are all the dreamers that I used know?
We used to linger beneath street lamps
In the halos and the smoke
Then the wing and the wheel came to carry them away
Now they all live out in the suburbs
Where their dreams are in their children at play

[Verse 3]
There's a pale sky in the east
All the stars are in the west
Oh, and here's to all the dreamers
May our open hearts find rest
The wing and the wheel are gonna carry us along
And we'll have memories for company
Long after the songs are gone
