Stars

Let It Be Me [live]专辑

  • Nina Simone
    Stars
    (Janis Ian)
    I was never one for singing what I really feel
    Except tonight I'm bringing everything I know that's real
    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
    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
    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, now you must make way"
    But they'll never know the pain of living with a name you never owned
    or the many years forgetting what you know too well
    That the ones who gave the crown have been let down
    You 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 and you never can believe they really loved you
    Some make it when they're old
    (Perhaps they have a soul they're not afraid to bare
    or perhaps there's nothing there)
    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
    Some women have a body men will want to see
    and so they put it on display
    Some people play a fine guitar, I could listen to them play all day
    Some ladies really move across the stage and gee, they sure can dance
    I guess I could learn how, if I gave it half a chance
    But I always feel so funny when my body tries to soar
    And I seem to always worry about missing the next chord
    I guess there isn't anything to put up on display
    Except the tunes, and whatever else I say
    But anyway, that isn't really what I meant to say
    I meant to tell a story, I live from day to day
    Stars, they come and go, they're coming 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,
    who live their lives in sad cafes and music halls
    And we always have a story
    So if you don't lose patience with my fumbling around
    I'll come up singing for you, even when I'm down
