[Verse 1]
Lay down in the grass
See the many people pass
This flock won't last
Flowers come and go so fast
[Chorus]
When the wheel is wrong
As your tongue is long
You can fill it up with a song
Before the word is gone
[Verse 2]
Gathering in the black
Sorrow works like a map
You can hold the circle in your hands
But the record turns so fast
[Chorus]
When the wheel is wrong
As your tongue is long
You can fill it up with a song
Before the word is gone
[Verse 3]
Way down on the path
Well, the band played in the damp
They were sunlit through the sap
Then it vanished with a gasp
[Chorus]
When the wheel is wrong
As your tongue is long
You can fill it up with a song
Before the word is gone
