Circle Games

	Yesterday a child came out to wonder
	Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
	Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
	And tearful at the falling of a star

	Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
	Skated over ten clear frozen streams
	Words like when you're older must appease him
	And promises of someday make his dreams

	And the seasons they go round and round
	And the painted ponies go up and down
	We're captive on the carousel of time
	We can't return we can only look
	Behind from where we came
	And go round and round and round
	In the circle game

	Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
	Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
	And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
	Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

	And the seasons they go round and round
	And the painted ponies go up and down
	We're captive on the carousel of time
	We can't return we can only look
	Behind from where we came
	And go round and round and round
	In the circle game

	So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
	Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
	There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
	Before the last revolving year is through

	And the seasons they go round and round
	And the painted ponies go up and down
	We're captive on the carousel of time
	We can't return we can only look
	Behind from where we came
	And go round and round and round
	In the circle game

	Yesterday a child came out to wonder
	Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
	Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
	And tearful at the falling of a star

	Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
	Skated over ten clear frozen streams
	Words like when you' re older must appease him
	And promises of someday make his dreams

	And the seasons they go round and round
	And the painted ponies go up and down
	We' re captive on the carousel of time
	We can' t return we can only look
	Behind from where we came
	And go round and round and round
	In the circle game

	Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
	Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
	And they tell him take your time it won' t be long now
	Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

	And the seasons they go round and round
	And the painted ponies go up and down
	We' re captive on the carousel of time
	We can' t return we can only look
	Behind from where we came
	And go round and round and round
	In the circle game

	So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
	Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
	There' ll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
	Before the last revolving year is through

	And the seasons they go round and round
	And the painted ponies go up and down
	We' re captive on the carousel of time
	We can' t return we can only look
	Behind from where we came
	And go round and round and round
	In the circle game
