starwheel

bruce cockburn

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
