歌词其实和尘凡的文字没有直接关联，但不知怎么的就想起这首歌来了。可能是歌中那种梦魇般的意境, dream和reality难分的迷惑，还有那种孤单与绝望，都似曾相识。不过尘凡的结尾要好些。这首歌的结尾忧伤得很，兜兜转转走不出来，仿佛剩下的只有失控，沉沦。旋律也如歌词一样，重复的转圈。简单，悲伤。我肺活量很差，所以唱得上气不接下气的。就忽略我的大喘气凑合听吧。
The Windmills of Your Mind
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 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
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
