Texty: Marianne Faithfull. As Tears Go by [Version 2].

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

My riches can't buy everythin'
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, hey hey hey
I sit and watch the children play, hey hey hey
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 ra ra
Ra ra ra ra ra ra rara, ra ra
Ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra , ra ra
Ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra, hmm
