	(Intro)
	    


	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
	                        
	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


	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 the 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?
	                          
	When you knew that it was over,
	                   
	you were suddenly aware
	                            
	That the autumn leaves were turning
	                     
	to the colour of her hair

	A circle in a spiral,
	                 
	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
