Hide Away (Local Hero) Lyrics

Take the sky for example
A canvas for 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
Sometimes the stars hide away

I see the bare moon raise its big bald head
I see my friends play the fool
I'll make my own way in the wide world
Just know I don't want to wander too far
Even the stars sometimes fade to gray
Sometimes 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
I'll honestly leave when i know that it's time
I know that it's time

Hear old Phoebe sing his only song
This summer day is hovering
I'll ride my full heart
Troubles fly like embers
Out the window of our traveling car
Even the stars sometimes fade to gray
Sometimes the stars hide away
