Yesterday a child came out to wonder
And caught a dragonfly inside a jar
And fearful when the skies were full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
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 in the circle game
Then the child moved ten times 'round the seasons
And skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like "when you're older, must appease him"
And promises of someday make his dreams
And 16 springs and 16 summers gone now
And cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
They tell him, "Take your time, it won't be long now
Until you drag your feet to slow the circles down"
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
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 in the circle game
And so the child who dreamed tomorrow now is 20
Though his dreams have lost, some grandeur comin' true
There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round
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 in the circle game
And go 'round and 'round
And go 'round and 'round in the circle game
