Lyrics
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...
