Round like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending on 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 I 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 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
