Take the sky, for example, a canvas of a billion suns But our local hero shines them out by day Save for the winking of a Venus or Mars Even the stars sometimes fade to grey Even the stars hide away She's a bare moon, plays his big ball And I see my friends play the fool I'll make my own way in the wide world Just know I don't want to wander too far Even the stars sometimes fade to grey Even the stars hide away Even the stars sometimes fade to grey Even the stars hide away Some will call me all kinds of names Some will say I don't play the right kind of game I try to be honest, try to be kind And honestly leave when I know that it's time I know that it's time Hear a Phoebe sing his only song This summer's day is hovering I'll ride my full heart, troubles fly like embers Out the windows of our travelling car Even the stars sometimes fade to grey Even the stars hide away Even the stars sometimes fade to grey Even the stars hide away Even the stars sometimes fade to grey Even the stars hide away
