I’ve Been Around

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
I've been loved, I've been lost
I've been found
But I've been around
I've been around
