Marianne Faithfull
"As Tears Go By (Version 2)"


It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

My riches can't buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

It is the evening of the day,
I sit and watch the children play.
Doing things I used to do
They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
