Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragon fly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

And the seasons, they go around and around
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captured on a carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind from where we came
And go around and around and around in the circle game

Then the child moved ten times around the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like, when you’re older, must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons, they go around and around
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captured on a carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind from where we came
And go around and around and around in the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through 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 around and around
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captured on a carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind from where we came
And go around and around and around 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 around and around
And the painted ponies go up and down
We’re captured on a carousel of time
We can’t return, we can only look behind from where we came
And go around and around and around in the circle game
And go around and around and around in the circle game
