Yesterday a child came out to wonder |
| [00:18.44] |
Caught a dragon fly inside a jar |
| [00:26.96] |
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder |
| [00:34.09] |
And tearful at the falling of a star |
| [00:42.59] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [00:46.81] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [00:52.09] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
| [00:59.96] |
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came |
| [01:07.02] |
And go round and round and round in the circle game |
| [01:16.00] |
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons |
| [01:24.07] |
Skated over ten clear frozen streams |
| [01:32.01] |
Words like when you're older must appease him |
| [01:39.78] |
And promises of someday make his dreams |
| [01:47.94] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [01:51.90] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [01:57.55] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
| [02:05.02] |
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came |
| [02:12.04] |
And go round and round and round in the circle game |
| [02:21.24] |
Six-teen springs and six-teen summers gone now |
| [02:29.03] |
Cart-wheels turn to car-wheels thou' the town |
| [02:35.89] |
And they tell him take you're time it won't be long now |
| [02:45.05] |
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down |
| [02:52.95] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [02:57.06] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [03:01.91] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
| [03:10.07] |
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came |
| [03:16.99] |
And go round and round and round in the circle game |
| [03:25.06] |
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty |
| [03:33.14] |
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true |
| [03:41.83] |
There's be new dreams may be better dreams and plenty |
| [03:49.05] |
Before the last revolving year is through |
| [03:57.98] |
And the seasons they go round and round |
| [04:02.00] |
And the painted ponies go up and down |
| [04:06.99] |
We're captive on the carousel of time |
| [04:15.03] |
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came |
| [04:22.05] |
And go round and round and round in the circle game |
| [04:29.96] |
And go round and round and round in the circle game |
