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
