I've Been Around

(album: The SnakeDoctor Circus - 2019)

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
