Yesterday a child came out to wonder |
[00:09.16] |
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar |
[00:14.48] |
|
[00:16.47] |
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder |
[00:22.29] |
|
[00:24.29] |
And tearful at the falling of a star |
[00:29.10] |
|
[00:32.85] |
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons |
[00:38.29] |
|
[00:40.60] |
Skated over ten clear frozen streams |
[00:46.42] |
|
[00:48.17] |
Words like, when youre older, must appease him |
[00:53.29] |
|
[00:55.92] |
And promises of someday make his dreams |
[01:01.73] |
|
[01:03.54] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[01:08.17] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[01:12.48] |
Were captive on the carousel of time |
[01:15.98] |
|
[01:20.04] |
We cant return we can only look behind |
[01:23.42] |
|
[01:24.48] |
From where we came |
[01:26.35] |
|
[01:26.92] |
And go round and round and round |
[01:29.61] |
|
[01:30.85] |
In the circle game |
[01:32.48] |
|
[01:35.54] |
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now |
[01:42.54] |
|
[01:43.48] |
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town |
[01:49.23] |
|
[01:50.42] |
And they tell him, |
[01:52.85] |
Take your time, it wont be long now |
[01:56.54] |
|
[01:58.36] |
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down |
[02:02.98] |
|
[02:06.54] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[02:10.92] |
|
[02:11.48] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[02:15.61] |
Were captive on the carousel of time |
[02:19.73] |
|
[02:22.86] |
We cant return we can only look behind |
[02:27.17] |
|
[02:27.79] |
From where we came |
[02:30.36] |
And go round and round and round |
[02:33.17] |
In the circle game |
[02:35.23] |
|
[02:38.11] |
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty |
[02:44.11] |
|
[02:46.04] |
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true |
[02:50.67] |
|
[02:53.30] |
Therell be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty |
[02:59.17] |
|
[03:01.48] |
Before the last revolving year is through |
[03:07.17] |
|
[03:09.67] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[03:13.48] |
|
[03:14.17] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[03:18.04] |
Were captive on the carousel of time |
[03:20.86] |
|
[03:26.36] |
We cant return, we can only look behind |
[03:29.98] |
From where we came |
[03:32.11] |
|
[03:34.92] |
And go round and round and round |
[03:37.19] |
|
[03:48.01] |
In the circle game |
