Sorry for typos/incorrect lyrics! :(

Lyrics Also Below:

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 carousell 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 shone

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 walking along a shore,

Leave their footprints in the sand

Is the sound of distant drumming

Just the fingers of your hand?

Pictures hanging in a hallway

And a fragment of a song

Half remembered names and faces

But to whom do they belong

When you knew that it was over

In the autumn of goodbyes

For a moment

You could not recall the color of his eyes

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 do not own this song!

Some of the lyrics are different from many other versions, but for me it made the song is more understandable.

fine. Moyet doesn't do anything outside perfection...however, the song demands a note of desperation: it's best performed as someone clutching at time, slipping away from you

I have a musicbox shaped like a windmill that plays this song. It used to be my great uncles before it was given to me. I always wanted to know what the song it played was called, and truly this is one of the most beautiful songs ive heard

Marvelous song - marvelous voice. But - please - it is the "riffle of a pebble" and not "the pebble of a pebble".

I have always loved this song sung by many. I did not realise there was such an instrument as a glass harmonica let alone that I was listening to one, thank you Mathew B clearly a purveyor of music and I will listen to your recommendations. Thanks again.I do so love every version of this song..........

Such a beautiful arrangement by Anne Dudley. Who else would have used the glass harmonica like that? A stroke of genius!I bought the "Voice" album on the strength of this song, and I wasn't disappointed.If you get the chance, listen to "God give me strength" and "La chanson des vieux amants".
