[Ebm]
[B]
[Ebm]
[Abm]
[Ebm] Round, [B] like a [Ebm] circle in a spiral, like a [F] wheel within a wheel, [Bb] never ending or beginning,
on an ever-spinning [Ebm] reel, like a snowball [Eb] down a mountain or a carnival [Abm] balloon, like
a [Db] carousel that's turning, running rings around the [Gb] moon,
[B] [Db] like a [B] clock whose hands are sweeping
past the minutes of its space, [Db]
[Bb] [Bm] and the [Bb] world is like an apple, whirling silently [Eb] in space,
[F] [Ebm] like the images you [Bb] find in the [Abm] windmills [Ebm] of your mind, like a tunnel that you follow
to a tunnel of [F] its home, down a hollow [Bb] to a cavern where the sun [Ebm] has never shown, like
a door that keeps [Eb] revolving in [Gm] some half-forgotten [Abm] dream, like the ripple from a [Db] pebble someone
tosses in a [Gb] stream, [Abm] when you knew that it was over, you were suddenly [F] aware that the
autumn leaves were [Bb] turning to the color [Eb] of her hair, [F]
[Bb]
[D] [Ebm] keys that jangle in your pocket,
words that [F] jangle in [Abm] your head, why did summer go so [Bm] quickly, [Bbm] [F] was it [Bm] something that [Gb] I said,
lovers [Bb] walk along the shore and leave their footprints [B] in the sand, was the sound of [F] distant
drumming just the fingers [Bbm] of a hand, [Db] pictures hanging [Eb] in a hallway, and the fragments of
[Abm] a song, half-remembered names [Db] and faces, but to whom do they [Gb] belong, [B] when [Db] you knew
[B] that it was over, you were suddenly [Abm] aware that [Db] the autumn [Abm]
leaves were [Bb] turning [B] to the
color [Bb] of [Ebm] her hair, [B] like a circle [Ebm] in a spiral, like a wheel within a [F] wheel, never ending
or [Bb] beginning, on [Gb] an ever-spinning [A] reel, as the images [Ebm] unwind, like the circles [F] that you
[Bb] find [F] in the windmills [Bb] [Eb] of your [Ebm]
mind.
