About

A sailing metaphor for fate (or chance) being stronger than will, saying that when the wind blows, it can make your boat go (the turn) in a different direction from where you want the boat to go (the wheel).

Never Let Go Lyrics

Well, ring the bell backwards and bury the axe
Fall down on your knees in the dirt
I'm tied to the mast between water and wind
Believe me, you'll never get hurt
Now the ring's in the pawnshop, the rain's in the hole
Down at the Five Points I stand
I'll lose everything, but I won't let go of your hand

Now Peter deny and Judas betray
I'll pay with the roll of the drum
And the wind will tell the turn from the wheel
And the watchman is making his rounds
Well, you'll leave me hanging by the skin of my teeth
I've only got one leg to stand
You can send me to hell, but I'll never let go of your hand

Swing from the rope on a cross-legged tree
Signed with a one-eyed jack's blood
From Temple and Union to Weyley and Grand
Walking back home in the mud

I must make my best of the only way home
Marley deals only in stones
I'm lost on the midway, I'm reckless in your eyes
Just give me a couple more throws
I'll dare you to dine with the cross-legged knights
Dare me to jump and I will
I'll fall from your grace, but I'll never let go of your hand
I'll never let go of your hand
I'll never let go of your hand
