I've played the part of a travelling man Acting my part from the very first line But now I see, there's been a big change in me From today I know that the curtains are closed I've read the stories of brotherhood Been around the world more than one time But now I see, there's been a big change in me But today I know that the curtains are closed * Oh feeling alright My wandering days are through I've had enough But I hang around ** Oh we're getting uptight I know just what to do My time has time has come for getting on Yes, got to settle down * repeat ** repeat Drunk from the cup of Satan's blood Worked 'til my hands could take no more Up in the clouds, for the whole world to see But today I know that the curtains are closed Looked over hills 'til my eyes got weak Sand 'til my song began to tire But now I see, there's been a big change in me And today I know that the curtains are closed * repeat ** repeat * repeat ** repeat
