Let the Wheels Turn Slowly lyrics

I saw old women waiting at the bus stop, with the rain coming down
And I saw people circling like buzzards to the tune of the traffic below
I know
Let the wheels turn slowly
I know
Let the lights go down

Teachers with brandy in their coffee
Younger cousins getting excited about a movie
I know
Let the lights go down right now
I know
Let the parents go out for a night on the town

Taking turns making phone calls to old relatives
Stuttering into the phone
I know
Let the words find their own way out
I know
Let the lights go down, let the lights go down

On your own now, leave again
Find a home and learn to lower your hands
