Wheel Of Fortune (1965)
(Gram Parsons)
On Another Side Of This Life - The Lost Recordings Of Gram Parsons 1965 - 1966

Fingertips
Rainbows for rings light my way
Circles carved in my hand
In magic trips
To gather stars in the daytime
You look here and there and you may find
Them blinking in the sand

The way you are
To stir the stream of my thinking
Let me know where it winds
To pastel dawns
Show searching knights without armour
The casting cards on the water
While they tell me what they find

The wheel of fortune keeps on turning everyday
And I’d been learning where I stand
And what I want to be
You see

In the sky
Words appear without meaning
Making shadows on the sun
But you and I
Can snap our fingers and leave them
And we don’t have to believe them
When we’re back where we’d begun

Fingertips
Rainbows for rings light my way
Circles carved in my hand
In magic trips
To gather stars in the daytime
You look here and there and you may find
Them blinking in the sand
