| Round, 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 on 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
|
| Or the ripples from a pebble
|
| Someone tosses in a stream
|
| Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
|
| Past the minutes on 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 have said
|
| Lovers walk along the 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 a fragment of a song
|
| Half-remembered names and faces
|
| But to whom do they belong
|
| When you knew that it was over
|
| In the autumn of goodbyes
|
| For a moment
|
| You could not recall the color of his eyes
|
| Like a circle in a spiral
|
| Like a wheel within a wheel
|
| Never ending or beginning
|
| On an ever spinning wheel
|
| As the images unwind
|
| Like the circle that you find
|
| In the windmills of your mind |
