This water-wheel keeps turning round I must have told it a thousands times There is no point in turning round I'm on my own Water-wheel. This water-wheel who laughs at me And seems to say scornfully She's never coming back again She's gone away Water-wheel. INSTRUMENTAL But water-wheel you know we were Kind to you and I was kind to her But still you turn and laugh at me Why don't you stop Water-wheel, water-wheel Water-wheel, water-wheel . . .
