Windmills of your Mind
Music by Michel Legrand
Lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman
Performed by Swing Out Sister
Intro
[Cm]
Verse 1
[Cm]
Like a circle in a spiral,
[Gm]
or a wheel within a wheel,
[G]
Never ending or beginning
[Cm]
on an ever-spinning reel,
[C]
Like a snowball down a mountain
[C/E] [Fm]
or a carnival balloon,
[Ab] [Bb]
Or a carousel that's turning,
[Eb]
running rings around the moon,
[Gm] [Ab]
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
[Dm]
past the minutes on its face,
[G]
And the world is like an apple,
[F#dim]
whirling silently in space,
[G]
Like the circles that you find
[Cm]
in the windmills of your mind.
Verse 2
[Cm]
Like a tunnel that you follow
[Gm]
to a tunnel of its own,
[G]
Down a hollow to a cavern
[Cm]
where the sun has never shone,
[C]
Like a door that keeps revolving
[C/E] [Fm]
in a half-forgotten dream,
[Ab] [Bb]
Or the ripples from a pebble
[Eb]
someone tosses in a stream,
[G] [Ab]
Like a clock whose hands are sweeping,
[Dm]
past the minutes on its face,
[G]
And the world is like an apple,
[F#dim]
whirling silently in space,
[G]
Like the circles that you find
[Cm]
in the windmills of your mind.
Verse 3
[Cm]
Keys that jingle in your pocket,
[Fm]
words that jangle in your head.
[Bb]
Why did summer go so quickly?
[Eb]
Was it something that you said?
[Eb/Db]
Lovers walk along the shoreline,
[Ab]
leave their footprints in the sand.
[D]
Was the sound of distant drumming
[Gm]
just the fingers on your hand?
[C]
Pictures hanging in a hallway
[Fm]
and the fragments of a song
[Ab] [Bb]
Half-remembered names and faces,
[Gm]
but to whom do they belong?
[Ab]
When you knew that it was over
[Dm]
in the autumn of goodbyes
[Cm/Eb] [G/D] [Cm] [G/B]
For a moment you could not recall
[G]
the color of his eyes.
Interlude
[Cm]
Coda
[Cm]
Like a circle in a spiral,
[G]
or a wheel within a wheel,
Never ending or beginning
[F#dim]
on an ever-spinning reel
[Eb]
As the images unwind,
[G]
Like the circles that you find
[Cm]
In the windmills of your mind.
