The Show's Almost Over

He walked up to the bandstand

And asked me could an old man sit in

Across his face I saw the pain

And felt it in these words I heard him sing

I can't believe what I see when I look in life's mirror

So many left over scars from a dreamers career

I stole from the good life and now it wants payment from me

I've got nothing but memories and little to give back you see

Now the show's almost over, let me sing one more song

The world sure looks lonely when the crowd's almost gone

So children you listen but don't sing along

'Cause the mountains are mean boy and the meaning's all wrong

He said on my way up I didn't want my woman around

You see I was too busy maybe from the fame that I'd found

Now the circus is over won't somebody please tell the clown

And baby I'm sorry, forgive me, if I let you down

Now the show's almost over, let me sing one more song

The world sure looks lonely when the crowd's almost gone

And children you listen, no, but don't sing along

'Cause the mountains are mean and the meaning's all wrong

Hey, the show's almost over, let me sing one more song

The world sure looks lonely when the crowd's almost gone..
