Marianne Faithfaul: As tears go by

年紀大了
看見小孩
就覺得生命流轉
的不可逆性

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
