The Windmills Of Your Mind Lyrics - Going Back - Dusty Springfield

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 

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 ... 

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 this 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!
