Every windmill has a history
Dutchmen keep your craft a mystery
Cruel fate did this to me
At the turning of the sails
At the turning of the sails

They'll hammer in the nails
They'll hammer in the nails
At the turning of the sails

Futile ambition
Presumed in the womb
Amounts to nothing
But an open wound
As the sun burns seedlings
On a hot humid day
A tiresome lethargy
Would come his way

Sidestepping sinkholes
And wild herbivores
He walked the peat bogs
Of Saddleworth moors
Looked for inspiration
A way into her heart
While the world went unnoticed
His fell apart

Every windmill has a history
Dutchmen keep your craft a mystery
Cruel fate did this to me
At the turning of the sails
At the turning of the sails
They'll hammer in the nails
They'll hammer in the nails
At the turning of the sails

With conceits and minds
Implacably set
They danced in the cornfield
The day that she left
But the thought of her
Perfect and pristine
Ghosted his days
And haunted his dreams

Soon she'd understand
The price of regret
That you keep on paying
The older you get
A windmill with sails
Sees another sunset
So dance to your fate
Little marionette

Nothing is habitual
We are all individuals
Put aside your books and rituals
At the turning of the sails
At the turning of the sails

Sometimes with Beverley
Or stumbling from Grace
He found no remedies
Or potions to take

Mockingbirds calling
Shorn of hope again
Uncle Bill's letter
Encompassed his pain

Not till fireweed
Enswathes the slag heap
That once was Kew
Shall you be Jack
And she be Jill
With deepest sympathy
Uncle Bill

At the turning of the sails
At the turning of the sails
They'll hammer in the nails
At the turning of the sails

At the turning of the sails
At the turning of the sails
They'll hammer in the nails
At the turning of the sails

At the turning of the sails
At the turning of the sails
They'll hammer in the nails
At the turning of the sails

Bij het draaien de wieken
Bij het draaien de wieken
Bij het draaien de wieken
Bij het draaien de wieken

Wieken wieken wieken
With deepest sympathy
Uncle Bill
