[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……
