Windmills Of Your Mind

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 [F]an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you [A7find in the windmills of your mind!

Like a tunnel that you [A7follow to [C7]a tunnel of its own
Down a hollow to [C7]a cavern where the sun has never shone
Like a door that keeps ɾevolving in a half forgotten dream
Or the ɾipples from a pebble someone tosses in a stɾeam
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping past the minutes of its face
And the world is like [F]an apple whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you [A7find 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 [Am7]it something that you [A7said?
Lovers walking along [Am]a shore and [Bm]leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway and [Bm]the fragment of a song
Half ɾemembered names and [Bm]faces, but to [C7]whom do they belong?
When you [A7knew that it was [Am7]over you [A7were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning to [C7]the color of her hair!
Like a circle in a spiral, like [F]a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning on [C7]an ever spinning ɾeel
As the images unwind, like [F]the circles that you [A7find
In the windmills of your mind!
