lyrics

Verse 1
Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was filled with thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star

Chorus 1
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 & round & round in the circle game

Verse 2
Then the child moved 10 times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear golden streams
Words like when you’re older
Must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams

Chorus 2
And the seasons they go round and round
The painted ponies go up and down
We’re captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return
We only look behind from where we came
And go round & round & round in the circle game

Verse 3
Sixteen springs & sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town
And they tell him take your time it won’t be long now
Till you drag your feet to slow the circle down

Chorus 3
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 & round & round in the circle game

Verse 4
The years spin by and now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true
They’ll be new dreams
Maybe better dreams they’ll be plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
Chorus 4
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 only look behind from where we came
And go round - & round - & round & round and round in the circle game

Joy Mover Hopkinton, Rhode Island

Listen closely. The next voice you hear will be a new one. Newer than new. A coy, edgy, imaginative voice. A shivery, fugitive voice, barely touching the notes, entering and departing the ear without leave. The voice belongs to Joy Mover. She is very different; provocative, thoughtful, interesting. To follow her in song is to exercise the mind. Her voice is always… beautiful ... more
