  And caught a dragonfly inside a jar
  Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
  And tearful at the falling of a star
  Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
  Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
  And they say take your time
  Take your time it wont 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 cant 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 girl is twenty
  Though her dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
  Therell 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 cant return we can only look
  Behind from where we came
  And go round and round
  And go round and round and round
  In the circle game
  And we go round and round
  And we go round and round
  And we go round and round
  And we go round and round
  And we go
