Windmills of your mind. My all time fav. song

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 of its face  
And the world is like an apple 
Rolling 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 
Like the ripples from a pebble 
Someone tosses in a stream
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping 

 Past the minutes of its face 
And the world is like an apple  
Rolling 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 the shore 
Leave their footprints in the sand 
Is the sound of distant drumming  
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway  

In the fragment of this song  
Half-remembered names and faces  
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over 

Were you suddenly aware  
That the autumn leaves were turning 
To the color of her hair?
 
Like a circle in a spiral 

Like a wheel within a wheel 
Never ending or beginning  
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind 

Like the circles that you find 
In the windmills of your mind
 
Pictures hanging in a hallway 

In the fragment of this song  
Half-remembered names and faces 
But to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over  

Were you suddenly aware  
That the autumn leaves were turning  
To the color of her hair?
Like a circle in a spiral  

Like a wheel within a wheel 
Never ending or beginning 
On an ever-spinning reel
As the images unwind  

Like the circles that you find 
In the windmills of your mind
