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 gray

Even the stars hide away



I see the bare moon raise his big, bald head

I see my friends played the fool

I'll make my own way in the wide world

Just now I don't want to wander too far



Even the stars sometimes fade to gray

Even the stars hide away

Even the stars sometimes fade to gray

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 traveling car



Even the stars sometimes fade to gray

Even the stars hide away

Even the stars sometimes fade to gray

Even the stars hide away

Even the stars sometimes fade to gray

Even the stars hide away
