The Circle Game
Ton : AEnglish
Couplet
AYesterday a Dchild came out to Awonder
ACaught a Ddragonfly inside a Ejar
AFearful when the Dsky was full of C#mthunder
And Dtearful at the Efalling of a Astar
Couplet
AThen the child moved Dten times 'round the Aseasons
ASkated over Dten clear frozen Estreams
AWords like, when you're Dolder, must C#mappease him
And Dpromises of Esomeday make his Adreams
Refrain
AAnd the seasons, they go E'round and A'round
AAnd the painted ponies go Eup and Adown
We're Dcaptured on a carousel of Atime
DWe can't return, we can only look C#mbehind from where we Dcame
DAnd go C#m'round and 'round and D'round in the Ecircle Agame
Couplet
ASixteen springs and Dsixteen summers Agone now
ACartwheels turn to Dcar wheels through the Etown
AAnd they tell him, take your Dtime it won't be C#mlong now
'Till you Ddrag your feet to Eslow the circles Adown
Couplet
ASo the years spin by Dand now the boy Ais twenty
AThough his dreams have lost some Dgrandeur coming Etrue
AThere'll be new dreams, maybe Dbetter dreams and C#mplenty
DBefore the last Erevolving year is Athrough
Refrain
AAnd the seasons, they go E'round and A'round
AAnd the painted ponies go Eup and Adown
We're Dcaptured on a carousel of Atime
DWe can't return, we can only look C#mbehind from where we Dcame
DAnd go C#m'round and 'round and D'round in the Ecircle Agame
DAnd go C#m'round and 'round and D'round in the Ecircle Agame
