[Intro] D# D#/D Cm G# A# D# [Verse 1] D# D#/D Cm Oh I wish I was the sparrow in your kid’s eye G# A# D# Like a fly above is summer all day long. D# D#/D Cm On an island in the heart he has to carry G# A# D# Past the many you have let into your song [Chorus] G# A# D# G# And I said, oh my Lord, Why am I not strong G# A# D# G# Like the wheel that keeps travelers travelling on G# A# D# Like the wheel that will take you home [Verse 2] D# D#/D Cm And in the forest someone is whispering to a tree now G# A# D# This is all I am so please don’t follow me D# D#/D Cm And it’s your brother in the shaft that I am swinging G# A# D# Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free [Chorus] G# A# D# G# And he said, oh my Lord, Why am I not strong G# A# D# G# Like the wheel that keeps travelers travelling on G# A# D# Like the wheel that will take you home [Verse 3] D# D#/D Cm And on this Sunday someone is sitting down to wonder G# A# D# Where the hell among these mountains will I be? D# D#/D Cm There’s cloud Behind the cloud to which I’m yelling G# A# D# I could hear you sneak around so easily [Chorus] G# A# D# G# And he said, oh my Lord, Why am I not strong G# A# D# G# Like the branch that keeps hangman hanging on G# A# D# Like the branch that will take me home
