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 him
And promises of someday make his dreams
And seasons the 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
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him take your 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
the circle In game
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming 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 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
