Yesterday a child came out to wonder |
| [00:09.29] |
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar |
| [00:16.58] |
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder |
| [00:24.27] |
And tearful at the falling of a star |
| [00:33.06] |
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons |
| [00:40.63] |
Skated over ten clear frozen streams |
| [00:47.94] |
Words like, when youre older, must appease him |
| [00:55.78] |
And promises of someday make his dreams |
| [01:03.49] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [01:08.06] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [01:11.91] |
Were captive on the carousel of time |
| [01:19.83] |
We cant return we can only look behind |
| [01:24.19] |
From where we came |
| [01:26.79] |
And go round and round and round |
| [01:30.21] |
In the circle game |
| [01:33.05] |
|
| [01:35.52] |
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now |
| [01:42.86] |
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town |
| [01:50.16] |
And they tell him, |
| [01:52.06] |
Take your time, it wont be long now |
| [01:58.31] |
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down |
| [02:05.89] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [02:10.66] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [02:14.75] |
Were captive on the carousel of time |
| [02:22.42] |
We cant return we can only look behind |
| [02:27.02] |
From where we came |
| [02:29.56] |
And go round and round and round |
| [02:33.18] |
In the circle game |
| [02:36.53] |
|
| [02:37.68] |
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty |
| [02:45.18] |
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true |
| [02:52.96] |
Therell be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty |
| [03:01.25] |
Before the last revolving year is through |
| [03:08.89] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [03:13.59] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [03:17.48] |
Were captive on the carousel of time |
| [03:25.29] |
We cant return, we can only look behind |
| [03:29.59] |
From where we came |
| [03:34.49] |
And go round and round and round |
| [03:45.62] |
In the circle game |
