Round like the circle in a spiralLike a wheel within a wheelNever ending or beginningOn an ever spinning reelLike a snowball down a mountainOr a carnival balloonLike a carousel thats turningRunning rings around the moonLike a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes on its faceAnd the world is like an appleWhirling silently in spaceLike the circles that you find In the windmills of your mindLike a tunnel that you followTo a tunnel of its ownDown a hollow to a cavern Where the sun has never shoneLike a door that keeps revolving In a half-forgotten dreamOr the ripples from a pebbleSongtexteSomeone tosses in a streamLike a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes on its faceAnd the world is like an appleWhirling silently in spaceLike the circles that you find In the windmills of your mindKeys that jingle in your pocketWords that jangle in your headWhy did summer go so quickly?Was it something that I said?Lovers walk along the shoreAnd leave their footprints in the sand Was the sound of distant drummingJust the fingers of your hand?Pictures hanging in a hallwayOr a fragment of a songHalf remembered names and facesBut to whom do they belong?When you knew that it was overWere you suddenly awareThat the autumn leaves were turningTo the color of his hair?Keys that jingle in your pocketWords that jangle in your headWhy did summer go so quickly?Was it something that I said?Lovers walk along the shoreAnd leave their footprints in the sand Was the sound of distant drummingJust the fingers of your hand?Pictures hanging in a hallwayOr a fragment of a songHalf remembered names and facesBut to whom do they belong?When you knew that it was overWere you suddenly awareThat the autumn leaves were turningTo the color of his hair?Like a circle in a spiralLike a wheel within a wheelNever ending or beginningOn an ever-spinning reelAs the images unwind Like the circles that you findIn the windmills of your mind Aus Songtexte Mania
