[00:10.10] Yesterday a child came out to wonder
[00:18.440] Caught a dragon fly inside a jar
[00:26.960] Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
[00:34.90] And tearful at the falling of a star
[00:42.590] And the seasons they go round and round
[00:46.810] And the painted ponies go up and down
[00:52.90] We're captive on the carousel of time
[00:59.960] We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
[01:07.20] And go round and round and round in the circle game
[01:16.0] Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
[01:24.70] Skated over ten clear frozen streams
[01:32.9] Words like when you're older must appease him
[01:39.780] And promises of someday make his dreams
[01:47.940] And the seasons they go round and round
[01:51.900] And the painted ponies go up and down
[01:57.550] We're captive on the carousel of time
[02:05.20] We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
[02:12.40] And go round and round and round in the circle game
[02:21.240] Six-teen springs and six-teen summers gone now
[02:29.30] Cart-wheels turn to car-wheels thou' the town
[02:35.890] And they tell him take you're time it won't be long now
[02:45.50] Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
[02:52.950] And the seasons they go round and round
[02:57.60] And the painted ponies go up and down
[03:01.910] We're captive on the carousel of time
[03:10.70] We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
[03:16.990] And go round and round and round in the circle game
[03:25.60] So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
[03:33.140] Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
[03:41.829] There's be new dreams may be better dreams and plenty
[03:49.50] Before the last revolving year is through
[03:57.980] And the seasons they go round and round
[04:02.0] And the painted ponies go up and down
[04:06.990] We're captive on the carousel of time
[04:15.30] We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
[04:22.50] And go round and round and round in the circle game
[04:29.960] And go round and round and round in the circle game
