Stars
- D. Hodge

When all the drunks have staggered home
And you're up on stage alone
Pouring out your final song
To a standing crowd of one
For the eighteen millionth time

And when you pack your gear away
And stumble out to meet the day
Fight the traffic home and then
Turn 'round and do it all again

When all the things that make you smile
Haven't been seen for quite a while
When all the songs you write and play
Have so little real to say

When everything you dare to dream
Turns out so petty cheap and mean
When everyone that you hold close
Is just a photograph or ghost
Remember child of mine

Stars aren't the only things that shine
Stars aren't the only things that shine
Stars aren't the only things that shine
