The Circle Game (Remastered LP Version) - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)[00:00:00]
Written by:Joni Mitchell/Vince Mendoza[00:00:05]
Yesterday a child came out to wonder[00:00:10]
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar[00:00:18]
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder[00:00:27]
And tearful at the falling of a star[00:00:34]
And the seasons they go round and round[00:00:43]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:00:47]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:00:52]
We can't return we can only look behind[00:01:00]
From where we came[00:01:04]
And go round and round and round[00:01:07]
In the circle game[00:01:11]
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons[00:01:16]
Skated over ten clear frozen streams[00:01:24]
Words like when you're older must appease him[00:01:33]
And promises of someday make his dreams[00:01:40]
And the seasons they go round and round[00:01:48]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:01:52]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:01:58]
We can't return we can only look behind[00:02:05]
From where we came[00:02:10]
And go round and round and round[00:02:12]
In the circle game[00:02:16]
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now[00:02:21]
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town[00:02:30]
And they tell him[00:02:37]
Take your time it won't be long now[00:02:39]
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down[00:02:45]
And the seasons they go round and round[00:02:54]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:02:58]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:03:03]
We can't return we can only look behind[00:03:11]
From where we came[00:03:15]
And go round and round and round[00:03:18]
In the circle game[00:03:21]
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty[00:03:26]
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true[00:03:34]
There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty[00:03:42]
Before the last revolving year is through[00:03:50]
And the seasons they go round and round[00:03:59]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:04:03]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:04:08]
We can't return we can only look behind[00:04:16]
From where we came[00:04:20]
And go round and round and round[00:04:22]
In the circle game[00:04:26]
