Marianne Faithfull - As Tears Go By Lyrics

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

Ra, ra, ra
Ra, ra, ra
Ra, ra, ra
...
