Grandmother told her in the long grey winter
Everything sleeps under the cold
Thats when the warmth of a dying summer
Fades from the earth and the hearts grow old

And the wheel keeps turning

And all the treasures of an old strong nation
Are lost in a blizzard and lost in the snow
Then we search the land for all our wives and daughters
Calling out their names, calling them home

And the wheel keeps turning

My love
I only see your shadow
My love
I only hear your echo

And Ill wait for you in the winter here Calling out "come home, come home, come home"

Grandmother told her nothing lasts forever
Creator brings the sun to every child of man
There in the daylight we will be brought together
Warmed in the springtime, healed by the Great Hand

And the wheel keeps turning
