	Story Behind the Song Henry was inspired by a poem by German philosopher Martin Heiddegger (though the lyrics are not actually a translation of the poem). For this revisionist recording, Henry wanted to emulate the style of Persian Qawali performer Nusrat Fateh Khan. Lyrics And then the little wheel Which sits atop the hill Sings in the gathering rain Of hearts left unfulfilled When early morning light Grows bright and ever new Worlds darken into night Never reach the light of you Too late we sing for gods Whose poems we have not seen And so repeat our folly At once silent and serene When early morning light Grows bright and ever new Worlds darken into night Never reach the light of you To think can only drive Our heavens twice as high And like a single star Fills up the world's sky When early morning light Grows bright and ever new Worlds darken into night Never reach the light of you And then the little wheel Which sits atop the hill Sings in the gathering rain Of hearts left unfulfilled
