[Bm] [C#]
[D]
Yesterday [G] a child came [D] out to [A] wander,
[D] caught a [G] dragonfly [A] inside a jar.
[G]
[A] [D] Fearful [G] when the sky was full [F#m] of thunder, [G] and tearful [D] at the [A] falling of [D] a star.
Then the child [G] moved ten times [D] round the seasons, [A]
[D] skated [G] over ten clear, [A] cold streams.
[C] [A]
[D] Words like, when [G] you're old, you must [F#m] be still, [G] and promises [D] of [A] someday make [D] his dreams.
And the seasons, they go [Em] round, [D]
[Em] [Bm]
[G] we're captive on the tail [D] of time.
[G] We can't turn, we can only [F#m] be, round [G] [D]
[Bm] and round [F#m] in the circle [D] game.
[G]
[D] [G] [D]
Sixteen springs [G] and sixteen [D] summers gone.
