[00:11.03] |
Yesterday a child came out to wonder |
[00:19.18] |
Caught a dragon fly inside a jar |
[00:27.50] |
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder |
[00:35.61] |
And tearful at the falling of a star |
[00:43.45] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[00:47.57] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[00:52.88] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
[01:00.60] |
We can't return we can only look |
[01:04.03] |
behind from where we came |
[01:07.38] |
And go round and round and round |
[01:11.02] |
in the circle game |
[01:14.24] |
|
[01:16.39] |
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons |
[01:24.72] |
Skated over ten clear frozen streams |
[01:32.96] |
Words like when you're older must appease him |
[01:40.51] |
And promises of someday make his dreams |
[01:48.83] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[01:52.92] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[01:58.27] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
[02:05.92] |
We can't return we can only look |
[02:09.51] |
behind from where we came |
[02:12.72] |
And go round and round and round |
[02:16.23] |
in the circle game |
[02:19.88] |
|
[02:21.97] |
Six-teen springs and six-teen summers gone now |
[02:29.95] |
Cart-wheels turn to car-wheels thou' the town |
[02:37.41] |
And they tell him take you're time |
[02:40.82] |
it won't be long now |
[02:45.71] |
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down |
[02:53.83] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[02:57.95] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[03:03.22] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
[03:11.11] |
We can't return we can only look |
[03:14.47] |
behind from where we came |
[03:17.81] |
And go round and round and round |
[03:21.34] |
in the circle game |
[03:24.41] |
|
[03:26.30] |
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty |
[03:34.38] |
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur |
[03:38.27] |
coming true |
[03:42.52] |
There's be new dreams may be better |
[03:46.07] |
dreams and plenty |
[03:50.47] |
Before the last revolving year is through |
[03:58.89] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
[04:02.77] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
[04:08.06] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
[04:15.60] |
We can't return we can only look |
[04:19.12] |
behind from where we came |
[04:22.50] |
And go round and round and round |
[04:25.99] |
in the circle game |
[04:31.02] |
And go round and round and round |
[04:34.27] |
in the circle game |
