The Circle Game
Ton : DEnglish
Couplet
DYesterday a Gchild came out to Dwonder..
Caught a Gdragonfly inside a Ajar.
DFearful when the Gsky was full of Dthunder.. F#m
And Gtearful at the Afalling of a Dstar.
Couplet
DThen the child moved Gten times round the Dseasons..
Skated over Gten clear frozen Astreams.
DWords like 'when you're Golder' must Dappease F#mhim..
And Gpromises of A'someday' make his Ddreams.
Refrain
DAnd the seasons they go Ground and Dround..
DAnd the painted ponies go Gup and Ddown.
GWe're captive on the carousel of Dtime.
We Gcan't return we can only look F#mbehind from where we Gcame
And go Dround and round and Around in the circle Dgame.
Couplet
DSixteen springs and Gsixteen summers Dgone now..
Cart wheels lost to Gcar wheels through the Atown.
And you Dtell him 'take your Gtime it won't be Dlong F#mnow'
Till you Gdrag your feet to Aslow those circles Ddown.
Couplet
DSo the boy who dreamed Gtomorrow now is Dtwenty..
Though his dreams have lost some Ggrandeur coming Atrue.
There'll be Dnew dreams maybe Gbetter dreams Daplenty.. F#m
GBefore the last Arevolving year is Dthrough.
Refrain
DAnd the seasons they go Ground and Dround..
DAnd the painted ponies go Gup and Ddown.
GWe're captive on the carousel of Dtime.
We Gcan't return we can only look F#mbehind from where we Gcame
And go Dround and round and Around in the circle Dgame.
