Watching The Wheels

      ― John Lennon ―

People say I'm crazy

Doing what I'm doing

Well, they give me all kinds of warnings

To save me from ruin

When I say that I'm okay, Well they look at me kinda strange

"surely, you're not happy now, you no longer play the game"

 

People say I'm crazy

Dreaming my life away

Well they give me all kinds of advice

Designed to enlighten me

When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall

"Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?" 

 

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry‐go‐round
I just had to let it go

 

Ah, People asking questions

Lost in confusion
Well, I tell them there's no problem
Only solutions

Well, they shake their heads and they look at me, as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry, I'm just sitting here doing time

 

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll

No longer riding on the merry‐go‐round


I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

I just had to let it go
