"Yesterday a child came out to wonder
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star.
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive in the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look behind from where we came
And go round and round and round in the circle game."

 

Joni Mitchell
