1
Yesterday, a child came out to wander
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
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
6
And the painted ponies go up and down
7
We're captive on the carousel of time
8
We can't return we can only look behind
9
From where we came
10
And go round and round and round
11
In the circle game
12
Then, the child moved ten times 'round the seasons
13
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
14
Words like, "When you're older", must appease him
15
And promises of someday make his dreams
16
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
17
And the painted ponies go up and down
18
We're captive on the carousel of time
19
We can't return we can only look behind
20
From where we came,
21
and go round and round and round
22
In the circle game
23
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
24
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
25
And they tell him, "Take your time. It won't be long now.
26
'Til your drag your feet to slow the circles down"
27
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
28
And the painted ponies go up and down
29
We're captive on the carousel of time
30
We can't return we can only look behind
31
From where we came
32
And go round and round and round
33
In the circle game
34
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
35
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
36
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
37
Before the last revolving year is through.
38
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
39
And the painted ponies go up and down
40
We're captive on the carousel of time
41
We can't return, we can only look behind
42
From where we came
43
And go round and 'round and 'round
44
In the circle game
45
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game.
