The Circle Game Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Stoned Immaculate 

Cover art for The Circle Game lyrics by Joni Mitchell

It's a really great song about the cycle of life, and being desperate to grow up to fulfill your dreams, only to grow up and lose the grandeur of the dreams that once drove you. It would be a great graduation song, actually, its just a song about time and how you feel you want it to quicken... Then it goes too fast and you need it to slow down.
