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 round and round

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

Then the child moved ten times

round the seasons

Skated over ten clear frozen streams

Words like when you're older

must appease

And promises of someday make her dreams

And the seasons they go round and round

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

Six-teen springs and six-teen

summers gone now

Cart-wheels turn to car-wheel

thou' the town

And they tell him take you're 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

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

So the years spin by

and now the girl is twenty

Though his dreams have lost

some grandeur coming true

There's be new dreams

may be 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

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

And go round and round

and round in the circle game
