《The Circle Game》歌词

[00:00:01] The Circle Game - Tom Rush

[00:00:20] Yesterday a child came out to wonder

[00:00:29] Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

[00:00:38] Fearful when the sky was full of thunder

[00:00:48] And tearful at the falling of a star

[00:00:55] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:01:01] And the painted ponies go up and dawn

[00:01:05] Were captive on the carousel of time

[00:01:15] We cant return we con only look behind

[00:01:20] From where we came

[00:01:22] And go round and round and round

[00:01:27] In the circle game

[00:01:34] Then the child moved ten times round the seasons

[00:01:42] Skated over ten clear frozen streams

[00:01:52] Words like when youre older must appease him

[00:02:01] And promises of someday make his dreams

[00:02:10] Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now

[00:02:19] Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town

[00:02:28] And they tell him

[00:02:30] Take your time it wont be long now

[00:02:37] Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

[00:02:45] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:02:51] And the painted ponies go up and dawn

[00:02:55] Were captive on the carousel of time

[00:03:04] We cant return we con only look behind

[00:03:09] From where we came

[00:03:12] And go round and round and round

[00:03:16] In the circle game

[00:03:30] So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty

[00:03:39] Though his dreams have lost some grandeur

[00:03:42] Coming true

[00:03:48] Therell be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty

[00:03:57] Before the last revolving year is through

[00:04:05] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:04:11] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:04:16] Were captive on the carousel of time

[00:04:24] We cant return we can only look behind

[00:04:29] From where we came

[00:04:32] And go round and round and round

[00:04:36] In the circle game

[00:04:41] And go round and round and round

[00:04:51] And go round and round and round

[00:04:57] In the circle game
