Circle Game Lyrics - Miles Of Aisles (live) - Joni Mitchell

Yesterday a child came out to wonder 

Caught a dragonfly inside a jar 

Fearful when the sky was full of thunder 

And tearful at the falling of a star 

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 dawn 

We're captive on the carousel of time 

We can't return we con only look behind 

From where we came 

And go round and round and round 

In the circle game. 

Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now 

Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town 

And they tell him, 

Take your 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 dawn 

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'll be new dreams, maybe 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
