Lyrics
(Em)Round like a cir cle in a spi ral, like a wheel with in a (B7)wheel, nev er end ing or be gin ning on an ev er spin ning (Em)reel.
Like a snow ball down a (E7)moun tain, or a car ni val bal (Am)loon, like a (Am7)car ou sel that’s (D7)turn ing, run ning rings a round the (Gmaj7)moon.
Like a clock whose hands are (Cmaj7)sweep ing past the min utes of its (F#)face, and the world is like an (B7)ap ple whirl ing si lent ly in (A#dim7)space, like the cir cles that you (B7)find in the wind mills of your (Em)mind!
Like a tun nel that you fol low to a tun nel of its (B7)own, down a hol low to a cav ern where the sun has nev er (Em)shone.
Like a door that keeps re (E7)volv ing in a half for got ten (Am)dream, or the (Am7)rip ples from a (D7)peb ble some one toss es in a (Gmaj7)stream.
Like a clock whose hands are (Cmaj7)sweep ing past the min utes of its (F#)face, and the world is like an (B7)ap ple whirl ing si lent ly in (A#dim7)space, like the cir cles that you (B7)find in the wind mills of your (Em)mind!
Keys that jin gle in your pock et, words that jan gle in your (Am7)head.
Why did sum mer go so (D7)quick ly?
Was it some thing that you (Gmaj7)said?
Lov ers walk a long a (G7)shore and leave their foot prints in the (C)sand.
Is the sound of dis tant (F#7)drum ming just the fin gers of your (Bm7)hand?
Pic tures hang ing in a (E)hall way and the frag ment of a (Am7)song.
Half re mem bered names and (D7)fac es, but to whom do they be (Gmaj7)long?
When you knew that it was (Cmaj7)o ver, you were sud den ly a (F#)ware that the au tumn leaves were (B7)turn ing to the col or of her (Em)hair!
Like a cir cle in a spi ral, like a wheel with in a (B7)wheel, nev er end ing or be gin ning on an ev er spin ning (A#dim7)reel.
As the im ag es un (Em)wind, like the cir cles that you (B7)find in the wind mills of your mind!
