As Tears Go By - Marianne Faithfull

You must remember this A kiss is still a kiss A sigh is just a sigh The fundamental things apply As time goes by And when two lovers woo They still say: "I love you" On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by Moonlight and love songs Never out of date Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate Woman needs man And man must have his mate That, no one can deny It's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die The world will always Welcome lovers As time goes by Moonlight and love songs Never out of date Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate Woman needs man And man must have his mate That, no one can deny It's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die The world will always Welcome lovers As time goes by

It seems like yesterday we were cutting up in class No worries in the world except chasing girls and burning gas Then one day you wake up, you're tossing up them caps Don't it seem like the good times go by too fast Yeah, I wish time would tick a little slower Sometimes it feels like I blink and then it's over Better soak it in, better make it last Live it up while we can 'cause the good times go by too fast It feels like yesterday I walked in that bar Wasn't looking for nothing, now look where we are We're watching our kids growin' up in a flash Don't it feel like the good times go by too fast Yeah, I wish time would tick a little slower Sometimes it feels like I blink and then it's over Better soak it in, better make it last Live it up while we can 'cause the good times go by too fast Before you know it your baby's having babies You're 21, close your eyes then you're 80 So laugh every laugh like it's your last 'Cause you can't get them back The good times go by too fast Yeah, I wish time would tick a little slower Sometimes it feels like I blink and then it's over Better soak it in, better make it last Live it up while we can 'Cause the good times go by too fast The good times go by too fast The good times go by too fast

This race is already run Get off your horse Get on this train Hey-ah... Hey-ah... Oh... Welcome to the real world I said, Welcome to the real world Are we rushing like the wind Naked out and naked in Welcome to the free world I said, Welcome to the me world Are we rushing like the wind Put your lovin' arms around Did you lose your faith in God, no? Does your conscience always get you down? Fall to pieces, rough and tumble Does your conscience always get you down? These days it's all in the mind It's elemental Don't say you're up when you're down It's elemental Put your lovin' arms around This your new year's resolution Put your lovin' arms around Nothing doing revolution Put your lovin' arms around Take another leap in the dark With a humble heart Do yourself some good What did you become? Patience, be sure Baby... Baby... These days it's all in the mind It's elemental Don't say you're up when you're down It's elemental

It's three miles to the river That would carry me away And two miles to the dusty street That I saw you on today It's four miles to my lonely room Where I will hide my face And about a half a mile to the downtown bar That I ran from in disgrace Lord, how long have I gotta keep on running? Seven hours, seven days or seven years All I know is, since you've been gone Feel like I'm drowning in a river Drowning In a river of tears Drowning in a river Feel like I'm drowning Drowning in a river In three more days, I'll leave this town And disappear without a trace A year from now, maybe settle down Where no one knows my face I wish that I could hold you One more time to ease the pain But my times run out and I got to go Got to run away again Still I catch myself thinking One day I'll find my way back here You'll save me from drowning Drowning in a river (Drowning) Drowning in a river of tears Drowning in a river Feel like I'm drowning Drowning in a river Oh, how long must this go on? Drowning (In a river, drowning) Drowning In a river of tears

I read your mind like an open book You lost the fire in your eyes You turn to me with a different look And then it's raining, looks like it's raining Oh no, tears are falling Oh no, tears are falling Oh no, tears are falling Something is wrong as I hold you near Somebody else holds your heart, yeah You turn to me with your icy tears And then it's raining, feels like it's raining Oh no, tears are falling Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh (I see you cry) And now it's raining (yeah) Looks like it's raining (someone stole your heart) And now it's raining, feels like it's raining Oh no, tears are falling Oh no, tears are falling, whoo oh Oh no, tears are falling, someone stole your heart Oh no, tears are falling, they're falling from your eyes Oh no, tears are falling, (no no, falling from your eyes) Oh no, tears are falling (Oh no, no, falling, oh, they're falling from your eyes) Oh no, tears are falling (Oh no, no, falling from your eyes) Oh no, tears are falling

I shall not fear no man but God Though I walk through the valley of death I shed so many tears If I should die before I wake Please, God walk with me Grab a nigga and take me to Heaven Back in elementary, I thrived on misery Left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed Inside my mind, couldn't find a place to rest Until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest Tell me can you feel me? I'm not living in the past, you wanna last? Be the first to blast Remember Kato No longer with us, he's deceased Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets, now rest in peace Is there heaven for a G? Remember me So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears Ah, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears Now that I'm struggling in this business, by any means Label me greedy gettin' green, but seldom seen And fuck the world 'cause I'm cursed, I'm having visions Of leaving here in a hearse, God can you feel me? Take me away from all the pressure and all the pain Show me some happiness again, I'm going blind I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail? My life is in denial and when I die Baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears Now I'm lost and I'm weary So many tears I'm suicidal so don't stand near me My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer To embrace an early death, now there's nothing left There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest I'm barely standing, 'bout to go to pieces, screaming peace And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it I had my mind full of demons trying to break free They planted seeds and they hatched, sparking the flame Inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game No memories, just a misery Painting a picture of my enemies killing me in my sleep Will I survive 'til the mornin' to see the sun Please Lord forgive me for my sins, 'cause here I come Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears Lord knows I tried, been a witness to homicide Seen drive-bys takin' lives, little kids die Wonder why as I walk by Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, getting high This ain't the life for me, I wanna change But ain't no future bright for me, I'm stuck in the game I'm trapped inside a maze See this Tanqueray influenced me to getting crazy Disillusioned lately, I've been really wanting babies So I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady Don't trust my lady 'cause she's a product of this poison I'm hearing noises, think she's fuckin' all my boys, can't take no more I'm fallin' to the floor, beggin' for the Lord to let me in To Heaven's door, shed so many tears Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
