Windmills Of Your Mind

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 on its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning 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
Like the ripples from a pebble
Someone tosses in a stream.
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on its face
And the world is like an apple
Spinning 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 I said?
Lovers walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
or the fragment of a song,
half-remembered names and faces
but to whom do they belong?
When you knew that it was over
Were you suddenly aware
That the autumn leaves were turning
To the color of her 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

I first started listening to this marvelous singer (and artist believe it or not) when I bought her first album by shear accident. I was blown away by her tallent! She is fab! Thanks for sharing this with us. x

[bradly2007]

Tremendous version of "The Windmills Of Your Mind" is edgy & hypnotic yet cool & jazzy...nobody today comes close to the vocal greatness that is Carmen Lundy...Bravo Carmen & thanks for your great spin on this timeless classic!!!

Great song, great arrangement, great performances. Carmen is in a class all her own...

I prefer the violin solo in this song

[zackyko]

once & again i say..the music of today is so dry,. artist misses the true feelings of their voices and art...w/more skin showing on their videos, that makes millions of dollars..so sad..very sad!!!!
