Circle Game (live)
Circle Game
- Joni Mitchell
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragon fly 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
Six-teen springs and six-teen summers gone now
Cart-wheels turn to car-wheels thou' the town
And they tell him take you're time
it won't be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
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 years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur
coming true
There's be new dreams may be 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 go round and round and round
in the circle game
