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
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,
26
Take your time, it won't be long now
27
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
28
And the seasons they go round and round
29
And the painted ponies go up and down
30
We're captive on the carousel of time
31
We can't return we can only look behind
32
From where we came
33
And go round and round and round
34
In the circle game
35
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
36
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
37
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
38
Before the last revolving year is through
39
And the seasons they go round and round
40
And the painted ponies go up and down
41
We're captive on the carousel of time
42
We can't return, we can only look behind
43
From where we came
44
And go round and round and round
45
In the circle game
