The Circle Game - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)[00:00:00]
Written by:Roma Ryan[00:00:01]
Yesterday a child came out to wonder[00:00:19]
Caught a dragon fly inside a jar[00:00:29]
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder[00:00:39]
And tearful at the falling of a star[00:00:49]
And the seasons they go round and round[00:00:59]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:01:05]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:01:11]
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came[00:01:20]
And go round and round and round in the circle game[00:01:30]
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons[00:01:44]
Skated over ten clear frozen streams[00:01:54]
Words like when you're older must appease him[00:02:05]
And promises of someday make his dreams[00:02:13]
And the seasons they go round and round[00:02:24]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:02:29]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:02:35]
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came[00:02:44]
And go round and round and round in the circle game[00:02:54]
Six teen springs and six teen summers gone now[00:03:08]
Cart wheels turn to car wheels thou' the town[00:03:17]
And they tell him take you're time it won't be long now[00:03:26]
Till you drag your feet just to slow the circles down[00:03:36]
And the seasons they go round and round[00:03:46]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:03:52]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:03:57]
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came[00:04:06]
And go round and round and round in the circle game[00:04:15]
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty[00:04:30]
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true[00:04:37]
There's be new dreams may be better dreams and plenty[00:04:47]
Before the last revolving year is through[00:04:57]
And the seasons they go round and round[00:05:06]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:05:12]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:05:17]
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came[00:05:27]
And go round and round and round[00:05:36]
Round and round in the circle game[00:05:46]
