C F C
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
C F G7
Caught a dragonfly, inside a jar
C F E
Tearful when the sky was full of thunder
F C G7 C F C
And fearful at the falling of a star
(coro)
C
And the seasons go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
F C
We're captive on the carousel of time
F Em F
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
C G7 C F C
And go round and round and round, in the circle game
