[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
