[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
