Sometimes there’s a shadow
Where used to be the sun
Sometimes you’re just lonely
Instead of having fun
Sometimes you keep standing here
Then you go on
Your days are short, your nights are long

You’re the sidewalk star shining through the night
You live somewhere far, hiding all your light
Down the corner, darling here am I
Times are passing when you pass me by
Please come another time

Sidewalk star that’s what you are
Come down, it won’t do no harm
You won’t find a place to hide
Maybe you can hide in your light

Sometimes you’re just coming down
Walking in your sleep
Sometimes laughing like a clown
Other times you weep
Sometimes you’re just sitting here
When you should walk
Your mouth is shut when you should talk

You’re the sidewalk star shining through the day
You live somewhere far, always on your way
Down the highway, somewhere out of town
Times are lonely, here you are loosing ground
Please come another time

Sidewalk star that’s what you are
Come down, it won’t do no harm
You won’t find a place to hide
Maybe you can hide in your light

Maybe you can hide in your light
Maybe you can hide in your light
