Circle Game Songtext
von Diesel

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 you're older must appease him
And promises of someday will make his dreams
And the seasons they go ′round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're only captured on this carousel of time
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, sixteen summers gone now Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell you take your time, it won't be long now
′Til you drag your feet too slow and the circle's down
So the years spin, now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams lost some grandeur coming true
There′ll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty
Before the last revolving year is truly through
And the seasons they go 'round and 'round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We′re only captured on this carousel of time
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
