Hmm, not sure why so many want to see a religious reference. Sure, it's easy to imagine an allusion to Ezekiel's wheel, but there's nothing else in the lyrics to support that - no hope, no failth, no love, no future, no help from God...nothing (and no angels, chariot or wheels).
What there is, is a really good description of endless days far away from home with only forlorn despair and little hope for return. The Wheel In The Sky is the endless passage of time,,,sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, day after day time keeps on moving, and the passage of one's life never seems to get you closer to home.
He's probably still out there, wondering if he will ever get home.
