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 shown
|
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 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 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 his 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
|
