[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
And the seasons they go around and around
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go 'round and 'round and 'round
In the circle game
[Verse 3]
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels lost to car wheels through the town
And they tell him "Take your time it won't be long now
'Til you drag your feet to slow the circle down"
