As tears go by

(Mick Jagger/Andrew Oldham/Keith Richards)


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 a 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

It is the evening of a day
I sit and watch the children play
Doin' things I used to do, they think are new
I sit and watch as tears go by
