Yesterday a child came out to wonder |
| [00:17.200] |
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar |
| [00:25.900] |
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder |
| [00:33.850] |
And tearful at the falling of a star |
| [00:43.260] |
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons |
| [00:51.900] |
Skated over ten clear frozen streams |
| [01:00.080] |
Words like when you're older must appease him |
| [01:08.100] |
And promises of someday make his dreams |
| [01:16.970] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [01:21.840] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [01:26.430] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
| [01:34.950] |
We can't return we can only look |
| [01:38.580] |
Behind from where we came |
| [01:41.900] |
And go round and round and round |
| [01:46.150] |
In the circle game |
| [01:51.570] |
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now |
| [02:00.070] |
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town |
| [02:07.710] |
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now |
| [02:16.480] |
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down |
| [02:25.330] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [02:30.370] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [02:34.960] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
| [02:43.590] |
We can't return we can only look |
| [02:47.590] |
Behind from where we came |
| [02:50.390] |
And go round and round and round |
| [02:55.150] |
In the circle game |
| [02:59.670] |
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty |
| [03:08.200] |
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true |
| [03:16.860] |
There'll be good dreams maybe better dreams and plenty |
| [03:25.430] |
Before the last revolving year is through |
| [03:34.200] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [03:38.500] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [03:43.190] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
| [03:52.080] |
We can't return we can only look |
| [03:55.570] |
Behind from where we came |
| [03:59.360] |
And go round and round and round |
| [04:03.180] |
In the circle game |
| [04:07.390] |
And go round and round and round |
| [04:12.150] |
In the circle game |
