Windmills of Your Mind Lyrics

[00:12.38] Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
[00:16.93] Never ending or beginning on an ever-spinning reel
[00:20.76] Like a snowball down a mountain, or a carnival balloon
[00:24.70] Like a carousel that's turning running rings around the moon
[00:28.67] Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
[00:32.28] And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
[00:36.41] Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
[00:41.37] Like a tunnel that you follow to a tunnel of its own
[00:45.10] Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone
[00:49.45] Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream
[00:53.44] Or the ripples from a pebble someone tosses in a stream
[00:57.75] Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
[01:01.67] And the world is like an apple whirling silently in space
[01:05.78] Like the circles that you find in the windmills of your mind
[01:10.84] Keys that jingle in your pocket, words that jangle in your head
[01:15.07] When did summer go so quickly? Was it something that you said?
[01:19.17] Lovers walking along a shore and leave their footprints in the sand
[01:23.38] Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?
[01:27.23] Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song
[01:31.33] Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?
[01:35.58] When you knew that it was over, you were suddenly aware
[01:39.76] That the autumn leaves were turning to the color of her hair
[01:45.62] A circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel
[01:49.77] Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel
[01:53.82] As the images unwind, like the circles that you find
[01:59.26] In the windmills of your mind
[02:05.90]
