- The Windmills of Your Mind
Dusty Springfield Songwriters: Legrand Michel Jean, Bergman Alan, Bergman Marilyn- 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
- 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 minute of its face,
- and the world is like an apple whirling endlessly 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
Is the sound of distant drumming - Just the fingers of your hand?
- Pictures hanging in a hallway
- And the fragment of a song
- Half remembered names and faces
- But to whom do they belong?
- He: when you knew
- That it was over
- You were suddenly aware
- That the autumn leaves were turning
- To the color
- Of her hair!
- She: 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 reel
As the images unwind - Like the circles
- That you find In the windmills of your mind!
