Sainte Marie Buffy - The Circle Game lyrics

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 yeahr frozen streams
Words like ‘when you are older´ must appease him
And promises of ‘someday´ make his dreams

And the seasons they go round & round
And the pain´ted ponies go up & down
We are captive on the carousel of time
We can not return we can only look behind from where we came
And go round & round & round in the circle game

Sixteen springs & sixteen summers gone now
Cart wheels cross to car wheels through the town
And you tell him take your time it wouldn´t be long now
Until you drag your feet to slow those circles down

So the boy who dreamed tomorrow now is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur, coming true
There will be new dreams maybe better dreams a plenty
Before the last revolving yeahr is through

And the seasons they go round & round
And the pain´ted ponies go up & down
We are captive on the carousel of time
We can not return we can only look behind from where we came
And go round & round & round in the circle again
