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

lheard him sing
I can't believe what I see

when I look in life's mirror

80 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
I've got nothing but memories

and little to give back you see
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
let me sing one more song

The world sure looks lonely

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

when the crowd's almost gone
when the crowd's almost gone
80 children you listen

but don't sing along

'Cause the mountains are mean boy

and the meaning's all wrong
but don't sing along

'Cause the mountains are mean boy

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

and the meaning's all wrong
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. ifl let you down
somebody please tell the clown

And baby I'm sorry,

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

forgive me. ifl let you down
forgive me. ifl 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
let me sing one more song

The world sure looks lonely

when the crowd's almost gone
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
no, but don't sing along

'Cause the mountains are mean

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

and the meaning's all wrong
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.
let me sing one more song

The world sure looks lonely

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

when the crowd's almost gone.
