Mathilde Santing - The Windmills of Your Mind lyrics

Round like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever spinning-wheel 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 Twirling silently in space Like the circles you can 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 on its face And the world is like an apple Twirling silently in space Like the circles you can 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 she said? Lovers walk along a shore And leave their footprints in the sand Was the sound of distant drumming Just the fingers of your hand? Pictures hanging in a hallway Or 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 circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever spinning wheel As the images unwind Llke the circles you can find In the windmills of your mind
