[00:07.68]Yesterday a child came out to wonder
[00:16.98]Caught a dragon fly inside a jar
[00:23.95]Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
[00:31.73]And tearful at the falling of a star
[00:38.32]And the seasons they go round and round
[00:43.20]And the painted ponies go up and down
[00:47.93]We're captive on the carousel of time
[00:53.99]We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
[01:00.96]And go round and round and round in the circle game
[01:09.79]Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
[01:21.50]Skated over ten clear frozen streams
[01:28.28]Words like when you're older must appease him
[01:35.94]And promises of someday make his dreams
[01:42.45]And the seasons they go round and round
[01:47.63]And the painted ponies go up and down
[01:52.29]We're captive on the carousel of time
[01:57.80]We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
[02:05.70]And go round and round and round in the circle game
[02:14.38]Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
[02:25.85]Cartwheels last turn to car wheels through the town
[02:33.00]And they tell him take your time it usn't be long now
[02:40.38]Till you drag your feet to slow the circle down
[02:47.04]And the season they go round and round
[02:52.45]And the painted ponies go up and down
[02:57.07]We're captive on the carousel of time
[03:01.84]We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
[03:10.71]And go round and round and round in the circle game
[03:18.22]So the year spin by and now the boy is twenty
[03:26.25]Though his dreams have lost some grander coming true
[03:32.91]There's be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty
[03:41.21]Before the last revolving year is through
[03:47.98]And the seasons they go round and round
[03:52.99]And the painted ponies go up and down
[03:57.47]We're captive on the carousel of time
[04:03.14]We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
[04:10.81]And go round and round and round in the circle game
[04:18.23]And go round and round and round in the circle game
[04:27.89]
