[00:21.47]Yesterday a child came out to wonder
[00:31.34]Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
[00:40.75]Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
[00:50.99]And tearful at the falling of a star
[00:58.56]And the seasons, they go round and round
[01:04.54]And the painted ponies go up and down
[01:09.42]Were captive on the carousel of time
[01:19.19]We can't return we con only look
[01:23.13]Behind from where we came
[01:27.27]And go round and round and round in the circle game
[01:40.55]
[01:40.56]Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
[01:49.42]Skated over ten clear frozen streams
[01:58.79]Words like, when you're older, must appease him
[02:08.96]And promises of someday make his dreams
[02:18.38]Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
[02:27.87]Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
[02:37.37]And they tell him, take your time, it won't be long now
[02:47.42]Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
[02:56.04]And the seasons, they go round and round
[03:01.84]And the painted ponies go up and down
[03:06.96]Were captive on the carousel of time
[03:16.01]We can't return we con only look
[03:20.21]BehindFrom where we came
[03:24.42]And go round and round and round in the circle game
[03:43.34]
[03:43.35]So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
[03:53.13]Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
[04:02.52]There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
[04:13.13]Before the last revolving year is through
[04:21.21]And the seasons, they go round and round
[04:27.07]And the painted ponies go up and down
[04:32.01]Were captive on the carousel of time
[04:41.24]We can't return we con only look
[04:45.45]BehindFrom where we came
[04:49.09]And go round and round and round in the circle game……

Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
Were captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we con only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game
Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you're older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him, take your time, it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
Were captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we con only look
BehindFrom where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons, they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
Were captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we con only look
BehindFrom where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game……
