Stars - Janis Ian.mp3

[00:00.00] 作词 : Janis Ian
[00:01.00] 作曲 : Janis Ian
[00:13.48]I was never one for singing
[00:19.55]What I really feel
[00:26.15]Except tonight I'm bringing
[00:31.35]Everything I know that's real
[00:38.77]Stars, they come and go
[00:43.64]They come fast and slow
[00:47.28]They go like the last light of the sun, all in a blaze
[00:51.47]And all you see is glory
[01:02.43]Hey, but it gets loney there
[01:06.30]When there's no one here to share
[01:11.21]We can shake it away
[01:16.25]If you'll hear a story
[01:25.64]People lust for fame
[01:28.78]Like athletes in a game
[01:32.99]We all break our collarbones
[01:35.31]And come up swinging
[01:37.24]Some of us are downed
[01:40.70]Some of us are crowned
[01:43.22]And some of are lost and never found
[01:46.83]But most have seen it all
[01:51.49]They live their lives
[01:52.97]In sad cafes and music halls
[01:59.17]They always come up singing
[02:06.32]Some make it when they're young
[02:09.80]Before the world has done it's dirty job
[02:13.47]And later on, someone will say
[02:16.12]"You've had your day, you must make way."
[02:24.13]But they'll never know the pain
[02:28.14]Of living with a name you never owned
[02:33.47]Or the many years forgetting
[02:35.52]What you know too well
[02:39.97]That the ones who gave the crown
[02:42.42]Have been let down
[02:44.86]You try to make amends without defending
[02:54.20]Perhaps pretending you never saw the eyes
[02:59.89]Of grown men of twenty-five
[03:04.80]Who all followed as you walked
[03:07.24]And asked for autographs
[03:08.19]Or kissed you on the cheek
[03:11.36]And you never can believe
[03:13.99]They really loved you
[03:17.72]Some make it when they're old
[03:22.73]Perhaps they have a soul
[03:25.16]They're not afraid to bare
[03:30.16]Or perhaps there's nothing there
[03:39.12]Stars, they come and go
[03:43.27]They come fast, they come slow
[03:46.30]They go like the last light of the sun
[03:50.11]All in a blaze. And all you see is glory
[04:00.71]But those who've seen it all
[04:05.55]Live out their lives
[04:06.72]In sad cafes and music halls
[04:13.23]They always have a story
[04:21.18]Some women have a body
[04:23.32]Men will want to see
[04:27.70]So they put it on display
[04:29.80]And some people play a fine guitar
[04:34.47]I could listen to them play all day
[04:41.26]Same ladies really move across a stage
[04:44.15]And, gee, they sure can dance
[04:50.95]I guess I could learn how
[04:55.50]If I gave it half a chance
[04:59.95]But I always feel so funny
[05:03.20]When my body tries to soar
[05:06.75]And I always seem to worry
[05:09.83]About missing the next chord
[05:14.26]So, I guess there isn't anything
[05:16.78]To put out on display
[05:21.32]Except the tunes
[05:26.29]And whatever else I say
[05:30.91]And anyway, that isn't really
[05:34.94]What I meant to say
[05:39.99]I just meant to tell a story
[05:43.79]And I live from day to day
[05:48.20]Stars, they come and go
[05:52.30]They come fast, they come slow
[05:55.74]They go like the last light of the sun
[05:59.92]All in a blaze
[06:05.76]And all you see is glory
[06:11.91]But those who've seen it all
[06:16.51]Live out their lives
[06:17.55]In sad cafes and music halls
[06:19.92]We always have a story
[06:24.00]So, if you don't lose patience
[06:32.77]With my fumbling around
[06:37.89]I'll come up singing for you
[06:43.37]Even when I'm down
