Empathy for the tragic arc of the life of Rolling Stones' guitarist Brian Jones.
Lyrics
When you walked through the room, you were certain that something had changed.
Yeah, they gathered around him and no one remembered your name.
All the beads and baubles and feathers you wear
Fill in the spaces and hang in the air.
Hey, hey, the raging wheel,
What the days took away, the water cannot heal.
You can say what you want but you know you can't come back now.
Rage, rage to the walls to the silent night.
Everything that you know is behind you, but nothing seems right.
Time waits for no one, and no one is you.
Stare at the mirror at the water so blue,
Blue like the dying light.
Will you walk on the water or simply fade into the quiet night.
You can say what you want but you know you can't come back now
Break
Hey, hey, the raging wheel,
What the days took away, the waters cannot heal.
When you sink like a stone, you got no time to feel.
Hey, hey, hey, the raging wheel.
