Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Round
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
[Verse 2]
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon
[Verse 3]
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
[Verse 4]
Like the circles that your find
In the windmills of your mind
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes of its face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
[Verse 7]
Like the circles that your find
In the windmills of your mind
[Verse 8]
Keys that jingle in your pocket
Words that jangle in your head
Why did summer go so quickly
Was it something that you said?
[Verse 9]
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
[Verse 10]
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the fragments of a song
Half-remembered names and faces
But to whom do they belong?
[Verse 11]
When you knew that it was over
You were suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of his hair
[Verse 12]
Like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel
Never ending or beginning
On an ever-spinning reel
[Verse 13]
As the images unwind
Like the circles that your find
In the windmills of your mind
