John Lennon - Double Fantasy - 08 - Watching The Wheels

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

I wish the negativity would stop too, John obviously adored Yoko. And she lost him, way too early, too young. Heck, I wish all of you tube were kinder. Maybe John would too.

I am listening for a hammered dulcimer, i love that instrument... remember when this song came out, so confusing for us kids because he was gone. But lovely that he was able to be home with Sean and this song came out of that experience - being "retired" from music to be home with his family. <3 This definitely makes a different kind of sense now. <3
