"The Windmills of Your Mind" - Noel Harrison
The original, from the 1968 movie/soundtrack album The Thomas Crown Affair, with Steve McQueen. Of course the Muppets later did their own bizarre take on the song!
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 walking along the shore,
Leave their footprints in the sand
Was the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand.
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And a fragment of this 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.
As the images unwind
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind.
