The Wheel by Roseanne Cash

[John]

I'm looking for a song by a female vocalist or group...it is a soft rock song, similar to Karla Bonoff, Expose, Everything But The Girl, etc....some of the words are: "and the wheels go round and round"...anyone have any ideas?...thanks in advance.

HAHA made you look :)

It may sound stupid, but my first thought was "Blame it on the weatherman" by B*Witched, even though the lyrics are "the rain goes on, on and on again". Are you 100% on the lyrics?

Maybe it is something by Frou Frou, I'll have a look for you

[Farin]

I think it could be "Long Train Running". Originally by the Doobie Brothers, but Bananarama did a cover...

Long Train Running ~ Bananarama

Down around the corner

Half a mile from here

See them long trains run

And you watch them disappear

(chorus 1)

Without love, where would you be now

Without love

You know I saw miss Lucy

Down along the tracks

She lost her home and her family

And she won't be coming back

(chorus 2)

Without love, where would you be right now

Without love

Well the Illinois Central

And the Southern Central freight

Gotta keep on pushing mama

You know they're running late

(chorus 1)

Well the pistons keep on turning

And the wheels go round and round

And the steel rails are cold and hard

For the miles that they go down

(chorus 1)

Baby baby baby baby babe

Oh won't you move it down

I gotta keep on moving

Gotta keep on moving

(ad lib)

I might have.

Is the second verse "the wipers on the bus go swish! swish! swish! all day long"?

[John]

thanks for the quick replies...it's not "Long Train Runnin"...i'm familiar with that song...it's a slow song that would probably be played on a soft rock/ lite music station, although i've never heard the song on the radio...i've heard it in the supermarket and department stores a few times.

Could it be the seasons that go round and round?

Joni Mitchell's Circle Game? She wrote it for Neil Young.

Yesterday a child came out to wonder

Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

Fearful when the sky was full of thunder

And tearful at the falling of a star

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons

Skated over ten clear frozen streams

Words like, when you're older, must appease him

And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons they go round and round

And the painted ponies go up and down

We're captive on the carousel of time

We can't return we can only look behind

From where we came

And go round and round and round

In the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now

Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town

And they tell him,

Take your time, it won't be long now

Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

And the seasons they go round and round

And the painted ponies go up and down

We're captive on the carousel of time

We can't return we can only look behind

From where we came

And go round and round and round

In the circle game

So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty

Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true

There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty

Before the last revolving year is through

And the seasons they go round and round

And the painted ponies go up and down

We're captive on the carousel of time

We can't return, we can only look behind

From where we came

And go round and round and round

In the circle game

It has that soft-rock sound.

[John]

it's not either of the joni mitchell or b*witched songs...but thanks for your help

[Farin]

Maybe this? (I don't know the song, but the lyrics fit)

Artist: Rosanne Cash

Song: Wheel

Album: The Wheel

How long was I alseep?

When did we plan to meet?

Have you been waiting long for me?

When did the sky turn black?

Do you still want me back?

I'll pick it all up piece by piece.

And the wheel goes round and round.

And the flame in our souls will never burn out.

And the wheel, and the wheel goes round.

I am a river with a voice.

I came into your life by choice.

And none can judge just how that feels.

You are a messenger from God.

You are the angel I forgot.

And who's to say that it isn't real?

And the wheel goes round and round.

And the flame in our souls will never burn out.

And the wheel, and the wheel goes round.

I'm not looking for the answers.

Oh, darling don't you see

That just to know the question

Is good enough for me.

Take up the hearts you came to heal.

Put down your dagger and your shield.

You need fear nothing now from me.

I see the essence of the man.

I stand before you as a friend.

The truth moves through us even when we sleep.

And the wheel goes round and round.

And the flame in our souls will never burn out.

And the wheel, and the wheel goes round.

Would you believe me, if I said, I didn't change anything?

[John]

that's the song! - "The Wheel" by Roseanne Cash. I couldn't find it because I kept looking for "wheels", rather than "wheel"....thanks so much!

[Uncle Joe]

And once again Farin comes to the fore. Atta boy!

A true Earth Angel protege.
