| [00:21.47] | Yesterday a child came out to wonder |
| [00:31.34] | Caught a dragonfly inside a jar |
| [00:40.75] | Fearful when the sky was full of thunder |
| [00:50.99] | And tearful at the falling of a star |
| [00:58.56] | And the seasons, they go round and round |
| [01:04.54] | And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [01:09.42] | Were captive on the carousel of time |
| [01:19.19] | We can't return we con only look |
| [01:23.13] | Behind from where we came |
| [01:27.27] | And go round and round and round in the circle game |
| [01:40.55] | |
| [01:40.56] | Then the child moved ten times round the seasons |
| [01:49.42] | Skated over ten clear frozen streams |
| [01:58.79] | Words like, when you're older, must appease him |
| [02:08.96] | And promises of someday make his dreams |
| [02:18.38] | Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now |
| [02:27.87] | Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town |
| [02:37.37] | And they tell him, take your time, it won't be long now |
| [02:47.42] | Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down |
| [02:56.04] | And the seasons, they go round and round |
| [03:01.84] | And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [03:06.96] | Were captive on the carousel of time |
| [03:16.01] | We can't return we con only look |
| [03:20.21] | BehindFrom where we came |
| [03:24.42] | And go round and round and round in the circle game |
| [03:43.34] | |
| [03:43.35] | So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty |
| [03:53.13] | Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true |
| [04:02.52] | There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty |
| [04:13.13] | Before the last revolving year is through |
| [04:21.21] | And the seasons, they go round and round |
| [04:27.07] | And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [04:32.01] | Were captive on the carousel of time |
| [04:41.24] | We can't return we con only look |
| [04:45.45] | BehindFrom where we came |
| [04:49.09] | And go round and round and round in the circle game…… |
