Intro :
R ound like a circle in a spiral
L ike a wheel within a wheel
N ever ending or beginning
O n an ever spinning reel
L ike a snowball down a mountain
O r a carnival balloon
L ike a carousel that's turning
R unning rings around the Moon
L ike a clock whose hands are sweeping
P ast the minutes of its face
A nd the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
L ike the circles that you find
I n the windmills of your mind
L ike a tunnel that you follow
T o a t unnel of its own
D own a hollow to a cavern
W here the sun has never shone
L ike a door that keeps revolving
I n a half-forgotten dream
O r the ripples from a pebble
S omeone tosses in a stream
L ike a clock whose hands are sweeping
P ast the minutes of its face
A nd the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
L ike the circles that you find
I n the windmills of your mind
K eys t hat jingle in your pocket
W ords that jangle in your head
W hy did summer go so quickly?
W as it something that you said?
L overs walk along the shore
A nd leave their footprints in the sand
I s the sound of distant drumming?
J ust the fingers of your hand
P ictures hanging in a hallway
A nd the fragment of a song
H alf-remembered names and faces
B ut to whom do they belong?
W hen you knew that it was over
Y ou were suddenly aware
T hat the autumn leaves were turning
T o the color of her hair
L ike a circle in a spiral
A whee l within a wheel
N ever ending or beginning
On an ever spinning reel
A s the images unwind
L ike the circles that you find
I n the windmills of your mind
