《The Circle Game》歌词

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

[00:00:01] Written by：Roma Ryan

[00:00:19] Yesterday a child came out to wonder

[00:00:29] Caught a dragon fly inside a jar

[00:00:39] Fearful when the sky was full of thunder

[00:00:49] And tearful at the falling of a star

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

[00:01:05] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:01:11] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:01:20] We can't return we can only look behind from where we came

[00:01:30] And go round and round and round in the circle game

[00:01:44] Then the child moved ten times round the seasons

[00:01:54] Skated over ten clear frozen streams

[00:02:05] Words like when you're older must appease him

[00:02:13] And promises of someday make his dreams

[00:02:24] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:02:29] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:02:35] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:02:44] We can't return we can only look behind from where we came

[00:02:54] And go round and round and round in the circle game

[00:03:08] Six teen springs and six teen summers gone now

[00:03:17] Cart wheels turn to car wheels thou' the town

[00:03:26] And they tell him take you're time it won't be long now

[00:03:36] Till you drag your feet just to slow the circles down

[00:03:46] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:03:52] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:03:57] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:04:06] We can't return we can only look behind from where we came

[00:04:15] And go round and round and round in the circle game

[00:04:30] So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty

[00:04:37] Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true

[00:04:47] There's be new dreams may be better dreams and plenty

[00:04:57] Before the last revolving year is through

[00:05:06] And the seasons they go round and round

[00:05:12] And the painted ponies go up and down

[00:05:17] We're captive on the carousel of time

[00:05:27] We can't return we can only look behind from where we came

[00:05:36] And go round and round and round

[00:05:46] Round and round in the circle game
