Circle Game Video (MV)

Yesterday
A child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful
When the sky was full of thunder
And 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 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 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 boy who dreamt tomorrow now 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 the seasons
They go round and round
And the seasons
They go round and round
And the seasons
They go round and round
