The Circle Game Songtext
von Meja

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 around the seasons
He 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
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
Until you drag your feet just 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 in the circle 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
Round and round and round
Round and round and round in the circle game
Go round and round and round
Round and round and round
And go round and round and round in the circle game
