Cover art for The Circle Game lyrics by Joni Mitchell

This is a response to Neil young's Sugar Mountain, which is about not wanting to grow up and move on in life. Joni Mitchell thought that if you're life ended when you became an adult, then that would be a pretty dull existence. So she wrote Circle Game to show that life is always moving forward and you can't stop it.
