Heart Like A Wheel
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 on mid-ocean
And it's only love and it's only love
And it's only love it is only love
And it's only love it is only love
And it's only love it is only love
