[00:09.97]Yesterday a child came out to wonder
[00:16.66]
[00:17.88]Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
[00:23.25]
[00:25.69]Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
[00:32.13]
[00:33.13]And tearful at the falling of a star
[00:38.79]
[00:40.91]And the seasons they go round and round
[00:44.66]And the painted ponies go up and down
[00:48.28]
[00:49.54]We're captive on the carousel of time
[00:55.72]
[00:57.36]We can't return we can only look
[00:59.91]
[01:00.54]Behind from where we came
[01:02.97]
[01:03.60]And go round and round and round
[01:06.86]
[01:07.47]In the circle game
[01:08.61]
[01:12.70]Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
[01:17.07]
[01:20.07]Skated over ten clear frozen streams
[01:25.48]
[01:27.92]Words like when you're older must appease him
[01:34.39]
[01:35.51]And promises of someday make his dreams
[01:40.77]
[01:43.41]And seasons the they go round and round
[01:47.00]And the painted ponies go up and down
[01:50.62]
[01:52.12]We're captive on the carousel of time
[01:56.37]
[01:59.86]We can't return we can only look
[02:02.42]
[02:03.05]Behind from where we came
[02:05.36]
[02:06.23]And go round and round and round
[02:09.30]
[02:09.87]In the circle game
[02:11.87]
[02:15.14]Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
[02:20.46]
[02:22.78]Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
[02:26.98]
[02:29.98]And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
[02:35.18]
[02:37.75]Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
[02:44.06]
[02:45.68]And the seasons they go round and round
[02:49.37]And the painted ponies go up and down
[02:53.06]
[02:54.56]We're captive on the carousel of time
[03:00.08]
[03:02.33]We can't return we can only look
[03:05.21]Behind from where we came
[03:07.83]
[03:08.59]And go round and round and round
[03:11.83]
[03:12.45]the circle In game
[03:14.19]
[03:16.81]So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
[03:22.79]
[03:24.54]Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
[03:30.87]
[03:31.74]There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
[03:37.88]
[03:40.50]Before the last revolving year is through
[03:45.10]
[03:48.05]And the seasons they go round and round
[03:52.05]And the painted ponies go up and down
[03:55.55]
[03:56.98]We're captive on the carousel of time
[04:02.88]
[04:04.69]We can't return we can only look
[04:07.63]Behind from where we came
[04:11.52]And go round and round and round
[04:14.16]
[04:14.72]In the circle game
[04:16.16]
[04:19.16]And go round and round and round
[04:22.80]
[04:23.61]In the circle game
