The Circle Game:Buffy Saint Marie.
#76 in 1970.
#1.
DYesterday a Gchild came out to Dwonder..
caught a dragonGfly inside a Ajar.
DFearful when the Gsky was full of DthunderF#m..
and Gtearful at the Afalling of a Dstar.
#2.
DThen the child moved Gten times round the Dseasons..
skated over Gten clear frozen Astreams.
DWords like, 'when you’rGe older,' musDt appease hF#mim..
and Gpromises of ?A??someday’ make Dhis dreams.
CHORUS:
DAnd the seasons they go Ground and Dround..
Dand the painted ponies go Gup and Ddown.
GWe’re captive on the carousel oDf time.
We Gcan’t return we can only lookF#m, behind from where wGe came,
and go Dround and round and Around in the circle Dgame.
#3.
DSixteen springs and Gsixteen summers Dgone now..
cart wheels lost to Gcar wheels, through the Atown.
And you Dtell him, 'take your Gtime it won’t bDe lonF#mg now,'
till you Gdrag your feet to Aslow those circles Ddown.
#4.
DSo, the boy who dreamed toGmorrow now is Dtwenty..
though his dreams have lost some Ggrandeur, coming Atrue.
There’ll bDe new dreams maybGe better dreamsD aplentF#my..
beGfore the last reAvolving year is Dthrough.
CHORUS:
DAnd the seasons they go Ground and Dround..
Dand the painted ponies go Gup and Ddown.
GWe’re captive on the carousel oDf time.
We Gcan’t return we can only lookF#m, behind from where wGe came,
and go Dround and round and Around in the circle Dgame.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
