[00:00:00] The Circle Game (Remastered LP Version) - Joni Mitchell (琼妮·米切尔)

[00:00:05] Written by：Joni Mitchell/Vince Mendoza

[00:00:10] Yesterday a child came out to wonder

[00:00:18] Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

[00:00:27] Fearful when the sky was full of thunder

[00:00:34] And tearful at the falling of a star

[00:00:43] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:00:47] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:00:52] We're captive on the carousel of time

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

[00:01:04] From where we came

[00:01:07] And go round and round and round

[00:01:11] In the circle game

[00:01:16] Then the child moved ten times round the seasons

[00:01:24] Skated over ten clear frozen streams

[00:01:33] Words like when you're older must appease him

[00:01:40] And promises of someday make his dreams

[00:01:48] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:01:52] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:01:58] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:02:05] We can't return we can only look behind

[00:02:10] From where we came

[00:02:12] And go round and round and round

[00:02:16] In the circle game

[00:02:21] Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now

[00:02:30] Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town

[00:02:37] And they tell him

[00:02:39] Take your time it won't be long now

[00:02:45] Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down

[00:02:54] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:02:58] And the painted ponies go up and down

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

[00:03:11] We can't return we can only look behind

[00:03:15] From where we came

[00:03:18] And go round and round and round

[00:03:21] In the circle game

[00:03:26] So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty

[00:03:34] Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true

[00:03:42] There'll be new dreams maybe better dreams and plenty

[00:03:50] Before the last revolving year is through

[00:03:59] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:04:03] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:04:08] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:04:16] We can't return we can only look behind

[00:04:20] From where we came

[00:04:22] And go round and round and round

[00:04:26] In the circle game
