I’ve Been Around

Curtain down, it's time to go

End of the story, end of the show

There's no need it would seem

In hanging round this lonely town

I played to win, I lost a few

I made the papers, and I've been old news

But when I'm done, let it be

Written down: I've been around

I've been a beggar down on your street

I've had a treasure laid at my feet

I played a hero, I've been a clown

I flew like an arrow close to the ground

So raise a glass, clear the floor

I'll take the last dance, and I'll find the door

And I'll smile, while the house

Lights go out 'cause I've been around

I've been loved, I've been lost

I've been found

But I've been around

I've been around
