Stars Lyrics

STARS



I was never one for saying what I really feel

Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real

[Chorus:]

Stars they come and go

They come fast

They come slow

They go like the last light of the sun

All in a blaze

And all you see is glory

Hey, but it gets lonely here

When there's no one here to share

You can shake it all away if you will hear my story

Some people ask for fame like athlete's in a game

We break our collarbones and come up swinging

Some of us are downed some of us a crowned

And some are lost and never found but most have seen it all

They live there lives in sad cafe's and music halls

They always come up singing

Some make it when they're young before the world has done its dirty job

Later on someone will say you've had your day,

And now you must make way

But they will never know the pain of living

With a name you'd never own

Or the many years forgetting

What you know too well

That the ones who get the crown

Have been let down

Yet try to make amends

Without defending

Perhaps pretending

You never saw the eyes

Of grown men of twenty-five

That follow as you walk

And ask for autographs

Or kiss you on the cheek

But you never can believe

They really love you

Some make it when they're old

Perhaps they have a soul

They're not afraid to bear

Or perhaps there's nothing there

[Chorus]

But most have seen it all

They live there lives

In sad cafe's and music halls

They always come up singing

Singing

Singing

Singing
