Lyrics
Old mill wheel
Turning through the night
You know how blue I feel
So, won’t you help me in my plight?
Chorus
Old mill wheel, keep on turning
Keep on turning my thoughts to yesterday
Let me dream in the shadows
While you bring back the dreams that went astray
Last night my love was here beside me
Tonight my love is far away
Old mill wheel, while you’re turning
Turn the moon back and bring back yesterday
