Clark, Petula - The Windmills Of Your Mind Lyrics






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 carousel 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 walk along a shore
And leave their footprints in the sand
Is the sound of distant drumming
Just the fingers of your hand?
Pictures hanging in a hallway
And the 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 colour 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

    Les moulins de mon coeur. Michel Legrand

  8. T.... B....

    Petula Clark's singing style is rather folkish and meandering kind of angst. At least it is rather faithful to the original version - Dusty's arrangement is slowed down to a rather punkish kind of angst after some mishaps over how the Memphis band would play such a foreign piece by Michel Legrand.

  9. M.... P....

    Simply stated. This is the best version that I've ever heard of this song. Simply magnificent for such a great song.

  10. b.... ....

    Voice of an angel if they existed which only idiots believe they do.

    Round.
    Like a circle in a spiral
    Like a wheel within a wheel
    Never ending on beginning
    On an ever-spinning reel
    Like a snowball down a mountain
    Or a carnival balloon
    Like a carousel that's turning
    Running rings around the moon
    Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
    Past the minutes on 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
    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
    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 I said?
    Lovers walk along a shore
    And leave their footprints in the sand
    Was the sound of distant drumming
    Just the fingers of your hand?
    Pictures hanging in a hallway
    And the fragment of a song
    Half-remembered names and faces
    But to whom do they belong?
    When you knew that it was over
    You were suddenly aware
    That the autumn leaves were turning
    To the color of his hair?
    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.

    Rest in Peace Michel Legrand.

  32. R.... S....

    The best version of this song I love Dusty but the tempo and the right amount of angst blows this one out of the park

    R.... S....

    Nothing of the kind. Only French version of this song is the best - " Les Moulins De Mon Coeur" . And nobody can perform that song better, than Frida Boccara...

  33. M.... s....

    Wonderful

  34. N.... ....

    It's wierd to hear it without the pops and skips from my old vinyl record.

  35. �.... �....

  36. G.... S....

    I like the muppets version best.

  37. O.... F....

    Petula Clark is one of the few singer-storytellers capable of weaving a storyline note after note.

  38. R.... R....

    Najlepszy jest jednak ten orginał. Nikt tego chyba nie powtórzy głosu i tamte brzmienie instrumentów.

  39. B.... B....

    I was searching for you petula ....for a while

  40. C.... P....

    Best...version...ever. Period!

    C.... P....

    @wafaa Merzouk , you better heard Sting's version. Even Neil Diamond.

    C.... P....

    @Call Me Joker 69 I like this version much more than the Sting's. And from what I heard (around a dozen of most popular versions on YouTube) this one is the best. Don't try to argue, it's a subject of taste 😉

    C.... P....

    @Shaman , yeah! it's a subject of taste. My prefer version is Dusty in female and Sting in male.

    C.... P....

    yes. sting's and b.straisend's versions e.g. sound kind of narcisstic

  41. y.... ....

  42. i.... ....

    I love Petula, but Dusty Springfield's and Noel Harrison's versions from that era are way better.

  43. R.... O....

    Petula Clark & Barbara Streisand are both great singer

    Acabe aquí por culpa de Dr_Fleibur y su historia del camarero. Que cuenta la desdicha de unos pobres humanos que sólo querían reírse un poco con lo que parecía una inocente canción pero realmente era un pasaje del necronomicon, entrando en bucle infinito hasta llevarles a la muerte y más allá.

    Why the hell isn't this version on Spotify or apple music? Literally the only version of this song I like

  61. B.... V....

    Unlike alot of the other versions of this... Clark really tells a story with her notes - like she's recalling a memory.

    B.... V....

    It’s more passionate than the others versions. There’s a jubilation and excitement that climaxes and soars and then floats back down again.

    B.... V....

    @Belzedar Great description... It's almost as if Petula is being directed... like in a movie.

  62. Y.... ....

    Dusty & Sting versions are best... and rest is just garbage...

    Y.... ....

    The Dusty Springfield version sucks.

  63. H.... K....

    Petula Clark's version is the best for this song! Love it!

    H.... K....

    Heysem Kaya Her vibrato is kinda nervous here sometimes.

    H.... K....

    @paxwallacejazz and yet it's the best version in my opinion too

  64. R.... V....

    Superb!

  65. c.... ....

    Must say in my opinion it's a toss-up as to who's version of this song is better Dusty Springfield's is also great.. I love them both !!!! _ Tom B - Delaware..

  66. c.... ....

    Beautifully done !!!

    Once in a while you hear a song in a movie that has a melody and heart, then you search YouTube and there's a club.

    J.... S....

    That scene with this music gave me goosebumps on my balls
