Bruce Cockburn
starwheel
Select language to translate this lyric
Orion's high in the south-west sky -
You're bound to move on and so am I
On this world we've had time to burn -
How come nobody ever seems to learn?
See how the starwheel turns.
Crystal drift on the whistling wind -
Constant change is the space we're in
You may use a slide rule or a golden crown
But nothing's worth it that you can pin down -
See how the starwheel turns.
Don't go playing no shell game with God -
Only Satan's going to give you odds
We're given love and love must be returned -
That's all the bearings that you need to learn
See how the starwheel turns.
