The Circle Game Lyrics – Buffy Sainte-Marie
Singer: Buffy Sainte-Marie
Title: The Circle Game
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 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
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels cross to car wheels thru the town
And you tell him
Take your time it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
So the boy who dreamed tomorrow now is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
There’ll be new dreams maybe better dreams a 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 again
And go round and round and round in the circle again
And go round and round and round in the circle again
And go round and round and round in the circle again
And go round and round and round in the circle again
And go round and round and round
