The Sandpipers - The Windmills of Your Mind lyrics
[The Sandpipers - The Windmills of Your Mind lyrics]
Round like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor 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 it's 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 it's 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 the pebbles
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's 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
Was the sound of distant drumming just
The fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a gallery 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 her hair
Like a circle in a spiral
Like wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor beginning on
An ever-spinning reel as the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor 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 it's 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 it's 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 the pebbles
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of it's 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
Was the sound of distant drumming just
The fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a gallery 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 her hair
Like a circle in a spiral
Like wheel within a wheel
Never ending nor beginning on
An ever-spinning reel as the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind
