W:Yesterday a child came out to wander
W:Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
W:Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
W:And tearful at the falling of a star
W:
W:ch
W:And the seasons, they go round and round
W:And the painted ponies go up and down
W:We're captive on the carousel of time
W:We can't return, we can only look
W:Behind, from where we came
W:And go round and round and round, in the circle game

W:Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
W:Skated over ten clear frozen streams
W:Words like, "When you're older" must appease him
W:And promises of someday make his dreams

W:16 springs and 16 summers gone now
W:Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
W:And they tell him, "Take your time, it won't be long now
W:'Til you drag your feet to slow the circles down"
W:

W:So the years spin by and now the boy is 20
W:Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
W:There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
W:Before the last revolving year is through
