[00:00:00] Stars - Janis Ian

[00:00:00] Written by：Janis Ian

[00:00:13] I was never one for singing

[00:00:18] What I really feel

[00:00:25] Except tonight I'm bringing

[00:00:31] Everything I know that's real

[00:00:38] Stars they come go

[00:00:43] They come fast or slow

[00:00:46] They go like the last light

[00:00:49] Of the sun all in a blaze

[00:00:54] And all you see is glory

[00:01:02] But it gets lonely there

[00:01:05] When there's no one here to share

[00:01:10] We can shake it away

[00:01:15] If you'll hear a story

[00:01:25] People lust for fame

[00:01:28] Like athletes in a game

[00:01:32] We break our collarbones

[00:01:34] And come up swinging

[00:01:36] Some of us are downed

[00:01:39] Some of us are crowned

[00:01:42] Some are lost

[00:01:44] Never found

[00:01:46] But most have seen it all

[00:01:51] They live their lives in

[00:01:52] Sad cafes and music halls

[00:01:58] They always come up singing

[00:02:05] Some make it when they're young

[00:02:08] Before the world has done it's dirty job

[00:02:13] And later on someone will say

[00:02:15] You've had your day now you must make way

[00:02:23] But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned

[00:02:32] Or the many years forgetting what you know too well

[00:02:39] That the ones who gave the crown have been let down

[00:02:44] You try to make amends without defending

[00:02:53] Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes

[00:02:59] Of grown men of twenty five

[00:03:03] Who all followed as you walked and asked for autographs

[00:03:07] Or kissed you on the cheek

[00:03:10] And you never could believe they really loved you

[00:03:17] Some make it when they're old

[00:03:22] Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare

[00:03:29] Or perhaps there's nothing there

[00:03:38] Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow

[00:03:45] They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze

[00:03:54] And all you see is glory

[00:04:00] But those who've seen it all

[00:04:04] Live all their lives in sad cafes and music halls

[00:04:12] We always have a story

[00:04:20] Some women have a body men will want to see

[00:04:26] So they put it on display

[00:04:29] And some people play a fine guitar

[00:04:34] I can listen to them play all day

[00:04:40] Some ladies really move across a stage

[00:04:45] And gee they sure can dance

[00:04:50] But I guess I could learn how if I gave it half a chance

[00:04:59] But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar

[00:05:06] And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord

[00:05:13] So I guess there isn't anything to put up on display

[00:05:20] Except the tunes and whatever else I say

[00:05:30] And anyway that isn't really what I meant to say

[00:05:38] I meant to tell a story and I live from day to day

[00:05:47] Stars they come and go they come fast they come slow

[00:05:55] They go like the last light of the sun all in a blaze

[00:06:04] And all you see is glory

[00:06:10] But those who've seen it all

[00:06:15] Live all their lives in sad cafes and music halls

[00:06:23] We always have a story

[00:06:28] So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around

[00:06:37] I'll come up singing for you even when I'm down
