B _ _ _ _ _ _ Yesterday a child came out to _ wander.
_ _ _ _ Caught a dragonfly _ inside a _ jar.
_
E _
B _ _ Fearful when
E the sky was
B full
Ebm of _

_ _
Ebm _ _
E And tearful at
B the falling

star.
B _ _ _ And the seasons, they go round and round.
And the pains and ponies go up and _

We're captive on a carousel
B of time.
_ We _ _
E can't return, we can only
B look
Ebm behind from where we
Em came.
And go
B round and round and round in a circle _
E.
again.
_
B _ _ Then the child
E moved ten times
B round the _ _ _ seasons.
_ Skated over ten clear frozen _
Gb _ .
E streams.
_ _
B _ _ Words like,

Sixteen

Cartwheels

B And they tell him, take your time, it
Ebm won't be long _ now.
