Yesterday a child came out to wonder |
[00:14.67] |
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar |
[00:21.46] |
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder |
[00:27.82] |
And tearful at the falling of a star |
[00:33.31] |
|
[00:34.69] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[00:38.18] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[00:42.57] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
[00:49.29] |
We can't return we can only look |
[00:52.30] |
Behind from where we came |
[00:54.91] |
And go round and round and round |
[00:57.92] |
In the circle game |
[01:01.44] |
|
[01:02.63] |
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons |
[01:09.44] |
Skated over ten clear frozen streams |
[01:16.35] |
Words like when you're older must appease him |
[01:22.65] |
And promises of someday make his dreams |
[01:28.78] |
|
[01:29.62] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[01:33.11] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[01:37.37] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
[01:44.12] |
We can't return we can only look |
[01:46.95] |
Behind from where we came |
[01:49.81] |
And go round and round and round |
[01:52.80] |
In the circle game * |

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now |
[02:04.48] |
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town |
[02:10.87] |
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now |
[02:17.69] |
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down |
[02:23.09] |
|
[02:24.51] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[02:28.08] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[02:32.45] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
[02:39.08] |
We can't return we can only look |
[02:42.02] |
Behind from where we came |
[02:44.79] |
And go round and round and round |
[02:47.88] |
In the circle game |
[02:50.98] |
|
[02:53.05] |
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty |
[03:00.81] |
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true |
[03:07.64] |
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty |
[03:14.49] |
Before the last revolving year is through |
[03:19.94] |
|
[03:21.19] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[03:24.73] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[03:28.97] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
[03:35.65] |
We can't return we can only look |
[03:38.63] |
Behind from where we came |
[03:41.35] |
And go round and round and round |
[03:44.61] |
In the circle game |
[03:46.77] |
|
[03:48.32] |
And go round and round and round |
[03:51.26] |
