1
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
2
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
3
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
4
And tearful at the falling of a star
5
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
6
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
7
Words like, when youre older, must appease him
8
And promises of someday make his dreams
9
And the seasons they go round and round
10
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
11
Were captive on the carousel of time
12
We cant return we con only look behind
13
From where we came
14
And go round and round and round
15
In the circle game.
16
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
17
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
18
And they tell him,
19
Take your time, it wont be long now
20
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
21
And the seasons they go round and round
22
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
23
Were captive on the carousel of time
24
We cant return we can only look behind
25
From where we came
26
And go round and round and round
27
In the circle game
28
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
29
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur
30
Coming true
31
Therell be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
32
Before the last revolving year is through.
33
And the seasons they go round and round
34
And the painted ponies go up and down
35
Were captive on the carousel of time
36
We cant return, we can only look behind
37
From where we came
38
And go round and round and round
39
In the circle game
