Mel Torm — Stars

[Chorus] Stars, they come and go They come fast or 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 there When there's no one here to share We can shake it away If you'll hear a story [Instrumental break] [Verse 1] People lust for fame Like athletes in a game We break our collarbones and come up swinging Some of us are downed Some of us are crowned And some are lost and never found But most have seen it all They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls They always come up singing [Chorus] Stars, they come and go They come fast or slow They go like the last light of the sun All in a blaze And all you see is glory But most have seen it all They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls They always have a story [Instrumental break] [Verse 2] Some make it when they're young Before the world has done its dirty job And later on, someone will say "You've had your day You must make way" But they'll never know the pain Of living with a name you've never owned Or the many years forgetting what you know too well Some make it when they're old Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare Or perhaps there's nothing there [Instrumental break] [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 But most have seen it all They live their lives in sad cafes and music halls They always have a story
