Lyrics

[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……
