Spinning His Wheels

(olivia newton-john /gary burr)



He didn't get home until ten

He was still hard at work even then

He didn't notice the change in her hair

Or the candles that burned everywhere



She went off to bed all alone

He didn't notice she'd gone

And it takes all her strength to hang on



She's on the edge of the circle watching him spin around

They can't reach each other until he slows down

They can't find the center, how lonely that feels

She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels



He crawls into bed after two

With a head full of things he should do

And he makes it quite clear with his kiss

She's no longer on top of his list



There are times when she can't feel his love

So she remembers the way that it was

And she'll hold on tight till he does



She's on the edge of the circle watching him spin around

They can't reach each other until he slows down

They can't find the center, how lonely that feels

She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels



Oh, he's on the rise to the top

She won't ask him to stop

Just please don't forget her



Oh, he's so blinded by pride

She'd be right by his side

If he would just let her



They can't find the center, how lonely that feels

She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels



She's stuck in a heartache, he's spinning his wheels
