[00:10.00]Yesterday  a  child  came  out  to  wonder
[00:18.17]Caught  a  dragon  fly  inside  a  jar
[00:26.13]Fearful  when  the  sky  was  full  of  thunder
[00:33.71]And  tearful  at  the  falling  of  a  star
[00:41.56]And  the  seasons  they  go  round  and  round
[00:45.58]And  the  painted  ponies  go  up  and  down
[00:50.38]We're  captive  on  the  carousel  of  time
[00:58.44]We  can't  return  we  can  only  look  behind  from  where  we  came
[01:05.17]And  go  round  and  round  and  round  in  the  circle  game
[01:18.07]Then  the  child  moved  ten  times  round  the  seasons
[01:26.14]Skated  over  ten  clear  frozen  streams
[01:34.38]Words  like  when  you're  older  must  appease  him
[01:41.66]And  promises  of  someday  make  his  dreams
[01:49.43]And  the  seasons  they  go  round  and  round
[01:53.59]And  the  painted  ponies  go  up  and  down
[01:58.57]We're  captive  on  the  carousel  of  time
[02:06.17]We  can't  return  we  can  only  look  behind  from  where  we  came
[02:12.14]And  go  round  and  round  and  round  in  the  circle  game
[02:22.12]Six-teen  springs  and  six-teen  summers  gone  now
[02:30.32]Cart-wheels  turn  to  car-wheels  thou'the  town
[02:37.19]And  they  tell  him  take  you're  time  it  won't  be  long  now
[02:45.56]Till  you  drag  your  feet  to  slow  the  circles  down
[02:53.48]So  the  years  spin  by  and  now  the  boy  is  twenty
[03:01.53]Though  his  dreams  have  lost  some  grandeur  coming  true
[03:09.39]There's  be  new  dreams  may  be  better  dreams  and  plenty
[03:17.99]Before  the  last  revolving  year  is  through
[03:25.93]And  the  seasons  they  go  round  and  round
[03:29.65]And  the  painted  ponies  go  up  and  down
[03:34.19]We're  captive  on  the  carousel  of  time
[03:41.67]We  can't  return  we  can  only  look  behind  from  where  we  came
[03:49.10]And  go  round  and  round  and  round  in  the  circle  game
[03:57.29]And  go  round  and  round  and  round  in  the  circle  game
