Circle Game
Joni Mitchell!
Yesterday a child came out to wonderCaught a dragonfly inside a jar.
Fearful when the sky is full of thunder.
Tearful at the falling of a star.
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on a carousel of time
We can't return, we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round on a circle game.
Then the child moved ten times round the season.
Skated over ten clear frozen streams.
Words like when you're older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams.
And the seasons they go round and round....
Sixteen springs and summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to carwheels through the town
And they tell him take your time it won't be long now
'Til you drag your feet to slow your circle down.
And the seasons they go round and round....
So the boy who dreamt tomorrow 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....
