The Circle Game (Take One) - Tom Rush
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
Then the child moved ten
times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when youre
older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and dawn
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant return we con only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
Sixteen springs and
sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
And they tell him
Take your time it wont 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 dawn
Were captive on the carousel of time
We cant 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 boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur
Coming true
Therell be new dreams
maybe 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
Were captive on the
carousel of time
We cant return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
