Marianne Faithful 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.
