| [00:03.41] |
Stars they come and go |
| [00:05.71] |
they come fast they come slow |
| [00:08.21] |
They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze |
| [00:14.06] |
And all you see is glory |
| [00:18.21] |
But it gets lonely there when there's no one there to share |
| [00:23.90] |
You can shake it away |
| [00:27.22] |
if you'll hear a story |
| [00:32.91] |
People lust for fame |
| [00:37.37] |
like athletes in a game |
| [00:41.68] |
they break their collarbones and come up swinging |
| [00:48.78] |
some of them are downed |
| [00:51.67] |
some of them are crowned |
| [00:54.98] |
some are lost and never found |
| [00:59.86] |
But most I have seen it all |
| [01:05.82] |
they live their lives in sad cafes and music halls |
| [01:16.28] |
And they always have a story |
| [01:24.57] |
Some make it when they're young |
| [01:29.92] |
before the world has done its dirty job |
| [01:35.19] |
and later on someone will say |
| [01:38.39] |
"You've had your day " |
| [01:41.54] |
now you must make way" |
| [01:47.45] |
But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned |
| [01:54.06] |
or the many years forgetting what you know too well |
| [01:59.32] |
That you gave the crown have been let down |
| [02:03.37] |
You try to make amends without defending |
| [02:12.82] |
Perhaps pretending |
| [02:17.52] |
you never saw the eyes of young men of twenty-five |
| [02:27.02] |
who follow as you walk and ask for autographs |
| [02:34.42] |
Or kiss you on the cheek |
| [02:37.76] |
and you never could believe they really loved you |
| [02:46.01] |
Some make it when they're old |
| [02:52.55] |
Perhaps they have a soul |
| [02:56.16] |
they're not afraid to bare |
| [03:02.97] |
or perhaps there's nothing there |
| [03:08.67] |
But anyway that isn't really what I meant to say |
| [03:13.53] |
I meant to tell a story |
| [03:17.13] |
that I live from day to day |
| [03:22.42] |
Stars they come and go |
| [03:25.73] |
they're coming fast they come slow |
| [03:28.83] |
They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze |
| [03:35.90] |
And it always all you see is glory |
| [03:42.05] |
But if you don't meant being patient with my fumbling around |
| [03:49.06] |
I'll come up singing for you |
| [03:57.15] |
even though I'm down |
