Windmills of Your Mind

Like a circle in a spiral
 Like a wheel within a wheel
 Never ending or beginning
 On an ever-spinning reel
 Like a snowball down a mountain
 Or a carnival balloon
 Like a carousel that's turning
 Running rings around the moon
 Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
 Past the minutes of its face
 And the world is like an apple
 Whirling silently in space
 Like the circles that you find
 In the windmills of your mind
 ♪
 Like a tunnel that you follow
 To a tunnel of its own
 Down a hollow to a cavern
 Where the sun has never shone
 Like a door that keeps revolving
 In a half-forgotten dream
 Like the ripples from a pebble
 Someone tosses in a stream
 Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
 Past the minutes of its face
 And the world is like an apple
 Whirling silently in space
 Like the circles that you find
 In the windmills of your mind
 ♪
 Keys that jingle in your pocket
 Words that jangle in your head
 Why did summer go so quickly?
 Was it something that you said?
 Lovers walk along a shore
 And leave their footprints in the sand
 Is the sound of distant drumming
 Just the fingers of your hand?
 Pictures hanging in a hallway
 And the fragment of a song
 Half-remembered names and faces
 But to whom do they belong?
 When you knew that it was over
 You were suddenly aware
 That the autumn leaves were turning
 To the color of his hair?

 Like a door that keeps revolving
 In a half-forgotten dream
 Of the ripples from a pebble
 Someone tosses in a stream
 Every images unwind
 Like the circles that you find
 In the windmills of your mind

 Like the circles that you find
 In the windmills of your mind
 Turning, turning, turning
 In the windmills of your mind
