[00:00:00] Circle Game - Harry Belafonte

[00:00:00] Written by：Mitchell Joni

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

[00:00:09] Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

[00:00:17] Fearful when the sky is full of thunder

[00:00:24] And tearful at the falling of a star

[00:00:32] And the seasons they go 'round and 'round

[00:00:36] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:00:41] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:00:49] We can't return we can only look behind

[00:00:54] From where we came

[00:00:56] And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game

[00:01:06] Then the child moved ten times round the seasons

[00:01:14] Skated over ten clear frozen streams

[00:01:21] Words like when you're older must appease him

[00:01:29] And promises of someday make his dreams

[00:01:37] And the seasons they go 'round and 'round

[00:01:41] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:01:46] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:01:53] We can't return we can only look behind

[00:01:58] From where we came

[00:02:00] And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game

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

[00:02:18] Cartwheels last turn to car wheels through the town

[00:02:25] And they tell him take your time it won't be long now

[00:02:33] 'Till you drag your feet to slow the circle down

[00:02:41] So the boy who dream tomorrow now is twenty

[00:02:48] Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true

[00:02:57] There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty

[00:03:05] Before the last revolving year is through

[00:03:13] And the seasons they go 'round and 'round

[00:03:17] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:03:22] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:03:29] We can't return we can only look behind

[00:03:34] From where we came

[00:03:36] And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game

[00:03:45] And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game
