Yesterday a child came out to wonder[00:00:11]
Caught a dragon fly inside a jar[00:00:19]
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 from where we came[00:01:00]
And go round and round and round in the circle game[00:01:07]
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[00:01:49]
And the painted ponies go up and down[00:01:53]
We're captive on the carousel of time[00:01:58]
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came[00:02:06]
And go round and round and round in the circle game[00:02:12]
Six-teen springs and six-teen summers gone now[00:02:22]
Cart-wheels turn to car-wheels thou' the town[00:02:30]
And they tell him take you're time it won't be long now[00:02:37]
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 from where we came[00:03:11]
And go round and round and round in the circle game[00:03:18]
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's be new dreams may be better dreams and plenty[00:03:43]
Before the last revolving year is through[00:03:51]
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 from where we came[00:04:16]
And go round and round and round in the circle game[00:04:23]
And go round and round and round in the circle game[00:04:31]
