Yesterday a child came out to wonder

Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

Fearful when the sky is full of thunder

And tearful at the falling of a star

And the seasons they go and

And the painted ponies go up and down

We captive on the carousel of time

We can return we can only look behind

From where we came

And go and and in the circle game

Then the child moved ten times round the seasons

Skated over ten clear frozen streams

Words like when you older must appease him

And promises of someday make his dreams

And the seasons they go and

And the painted ponies go up and down

We captive on the carousel of time

We can return we can only look behind

From where we came

And go and and in the circle game

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now

Cartwheels last turn to car wheels through the town

And they tell him take your time it won be long now

you drag your feet to slow the circle down

So the boy who dream tomorrow now is twenty

Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true

There be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty

Before the last revolving year is through

And the seasons they go and

And the painted ponies go up and down

We captive on the carousel of time

We can return we can only look behind

From where we came

And go and and in the circle game

And go and and in the circle game
