Windmills Of Your Mind Lyrics - Smile - The Idea Of North

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 who's 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 it's own 

Down a hollow to a cavern 

Where the sun has ever shone 

Like a door that keeps revolving 

In a half-forgotten dream 

Or the ripples of a pebble 

Someone tosses in a stream 

Like a clock who's 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 

~Vocal Insturmental~ 

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 

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 colour 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 

~Vocal Instrumental~
