[C]
Yesterday a child came out to wander Caught on a [F] dragonfly [C] inside [G] a jar
[C]
Fearful [D] when skies [Em] were full of thunder [C] [F]
Cheerful of [G] the fall and [C]
the seasons go round and round
Painting bees on the [F]
work at the pond, cats look
[C]
We [F]
kept taking [C] over, [G] behind from where we [F] came from
And [C] go round and round in a circle
Then a [F] child moved ten [C] times round the seasons Skated over [F] [C] ten clear [G] frozen streams
Words [C]
like, when you're older [Em] you must appease them
[C]
[F] And promises [G] of some day may be [C] true
Sixteen springs, sixteen soft spots
But you turn the car [G] wheels through the pond
[C]
They tell them, take your time, [Em] won't be long now
[C] [Fm]
Till you turn your [C] feet in circles
And the seasons go round and round
Painting ponies up and down
[F]
Work at the pond, the cats look
[C]
[F]
We can't even get old, [Em] even home from [G] where [F] we're from
And [C] go round [G] in a circle
[C]
So the child who dreams tomorrow now is twenty
[G] Those
[C] dreams of [F] love, it's a grander coming [G] true
[C] For me, there may be better [Em] dreams than plenty
[C] [F] For the [G] last of all, [C] the year is to be go round and round
Painting bees, [F] work at the pond, the cats [C] look
[F] We can't even get old, [C] [Em] even home from where [F] we came from
And [C] go round in a circle
Painting all around, [Em] [C]
[G] [C]
and [Em] then a little one
[G]
In a [C] circle
