DUSTY SPRINGFIELD - The Windmills Of Your Mind lyrics

rate me

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