These Old Wheels - Mandolin Orange

Silence is golden some may say, some may say

Well I say silence is an aimless time to kill

It’s a restless feeling pounding on my brain both night and day

And these old wheels of mine spin louder as it builds

Yes the sky would surely fall if my dear eardrum did fail

To beat a single time, in time or out

Some may make it out all right and some may have never known

But these old wheels spin far too loud, far too loud

For I love to hear a from the morning bird choir

And the sounds of coffee boiling on the pot

How I love to hear I love you in a dry morning tone

And just assume that if I can’t these wheels would stop

Yes happy is the day I lay my poor head down

With neither trial nor trouble to compete

With the chirp of summer crickets nor a tree frog’s croak

And these old wheels slow down enough so that I may sleep

Silence is golden some may say, some may say

I say silence is an aimless time to kill

It’s a restless feeling pounding on my brain both night and day

And these old wheels of mine spin louder as it builds
