Marianne Faithfull Album

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.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm ...

I'll send away all my false pride
And I'll forsake all of my life.
Yes, I'll be as true, as true can be
If you'll come and stay with me.

Lovers of the past I'll leave behind,
There'll never be another on my mind.
I'll do all I can so you'll feel free
If you'll come and stay with me.

The promises I made most faithfully,
I'll keep still, should you decide to leave.

I'll try and see that you have all you need
If you'll come and stay with me.

We'll live a life no one has ever known,
But I know you're thinking that I'm hardly grown.
But oh, thank god, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me.

But oh, thank god, at last and finally
I can see you're gonna stay with me

Have you been to scarborough fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Remember me to one that lives there
For once she once was a true lover of mine.

Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
One with no seams, of fine needlework
And then she'll be a true lover of mine.

Tell her to dry it 'pon yonder thorn
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
That never bore fruit since adam was born
And then she'll be a true lover of mine.

Ah, can you find me an acre of land

Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Between the salt sea and the sea sand
Or never be a true lover of mine.

And can you plough it with a sheep's horn
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
And sow it all over with one peppercorn
Or never be a true lover of mine.

And when you have done and finished your work
Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.
Then come to me for your cambric shirt
And then you'll be a true lover of mine

Monday, monday
So good to me.
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be.

Oh monday morning
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That monday evening
You would still be here with me.

Monday, monday
Can't trust the day.
Monday, monday
Sometimes it just turns out that way.

On monday morning
You gave me no warning
Of what was to be.
On monday, monday
How could you leave
And not take me?

Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah.

But whenever monday comes
But whenever monday comes
You can find me crying

All of the time.

Monday, monday
So good to me.
Monday morning
It was all I hoped it would be.
Oh monday morning,
Monday morning couldn't guarantee
That monday evening
You would still be here with me.

Every other day
Every other day
Every other day
Of the week is fine, yeah.

But whenever monday comes
But whenever monday comes
You can find me crying
All of the time.

Monday, monday,
Can't trust the day.
Monday, monday,
Don't go away.

Oh, monday, monday,
Don't go away.
Oh, monday, monday...

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away,
Now it looks as though they're here to stay,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Suddenly
I'm not half the one I used to be,
There's a shadow hanging over me,
Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

Why he had to go,
I don't know, he wouldn't say.
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play,

Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Why he had to go,
I don't know, he wouldn't say.
I said something wrong,
Now I long for yesterday.

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away,
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm.
Yesterday

It's a lesson too late for the learning
Made of sand, made of sand
In the wink of an eye my soul is turning
In your hand, in your hand.

Are you going away with no word of farewell,
Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

You've got reasons a-plenty for going,
This I know, this I know.
For the weeds have been steadily growing,
Please don't go, please don't go.

Are you going away with no word of farewell,

Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind,
You know that was the last thing on my mind.

As I lie in my bed in the mornin'
Without you, without you.
Every song in my breast dies a born-in
Without you, without you.

Are you going away with no word of farewell,
Will there be not a trace left behind ?
I could have loved you better, didn't mean to be unkind
You know that was the last thing on my mind

Just a little rain falling all around,
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound.
Just a little rain, just a little rain,
What have they done to the rain?

Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
A gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain?

Just a little breeze out of the sky,

The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by.
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye,
What have they done to the rain?

Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
A gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain?
And what have they done to the rain?

There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.

He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,

This little bird that somebody sends.

He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird dies

He walks along singing his fairy song
Picking up magic that grows at his feet.
She says the same her peculiar way
Dreaming good fortune on everyone's street.

Say, hey, have you heard, blue whiskey's the rage,
I'll send you a jug in the morning.
It is absurd to live in a cage,
You know there's got to be something better.

As they go by, don't look with eagle's eyes
Smile on your jailers until they grow weak.
Nothing can compare to something that's almost there
To tear up the madness that all of us seek.

Say, hey, have you heard, blue whiskey's the rage,
I'll send you a jug in the morning.
It is absurd to live in a cage,
You know there's got to be something better.

In my time of sorrow,
In my time of feeling bad
Oh what I'd give
Just to relive
All of the good times that I've had.

In my time of sorrow
In my time of feeling alone
There was a time
I could ease my mind
With thoughts of just being on my own.

Changes of life
I'm going through

Keep me from doing
What I know I should do.

In my time of sorrow
In my time where teardrops fall
I can't tell you why
I don't want to try,
But the time has come
For me to say fare well.

In my time of sorrow
In my time of sorrow
In my time of sorrow...

There's been a lot of talk around
That you've been seen with a certain party
& now I'm so afraid I'm losing you, oh baby
Don't tell me you don't want my love
I couldn't give it to just anybody
Baby won't you tell me it's not true?

[Bridge:]
Don't leave me, baby
Don't tell me it's over
After I trusted you
And did my best to make you happy

[Chorus:]
Is this what I get for lovin' you, baby?
Is this what I get for lovin' you, baby?
There was a night when you held me tight
& you said you'd always love me
You said you'd never hurt me

What would there be left for me?
It's such a cruel world to be alone in
I always needed you to look out for me, oh baby
I'm gonna miss your loving arms
They're the only arms I feel at home in
Don't you know how lonely I'm gonna be

[Bridge]
[Chorus]

Don't leave me baby

[Chorus to fade]

Tomorrow's calling with promises new
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.

Silver patterns of porcelain rose
Cobwebs of filley green.
Where I get them from nobody knows,
No one but you can see.

All the treasures of time will be there,
Take them away, they're free.
The finest thing is a love that we'll share
If you will follow me.

If I were foolish I'd promise the sky.
But I must not let my hopes run too high.

And I wonder when all's said and done
What will the future be?

All I know is that you are the one
If you will follow me.

If you will follow me.
If you will follow me.

And I wonder when all is said and done
What will the future be?
All I know is that you are the one
If you will follow me,
If you will follow me,
If you will follow me.

Tomorrow's calling with promises new
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.

I hear the echo of yesterday's blue.
I hear the echo of yesterday's blue

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.

Still I look to find a reason to believe.

Someone like you makes it hard to live
Without somebody else.
Someone like you makes it easy to give,
Never thinking of myself.

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried.
Still I look to find reason to believe

Here I lie in my hospital bed,
Tell me, sister morphine, when are you coming round again.
Oh, I don't think I can wait that long,
Oh, you see I'm not that strong.

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ears.
Tell me, sister morphine, how long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?
Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor.
Can't you see, sister morphine, I'm just trying to score.

Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem.
Please, sister morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams.
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be my last.

Sweet cousin cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head.
Hey, sister morphine, you'd better make up my bed
For you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead,
And you can sit around and you can watch the clean white sheets stain red

Go away from my world,
Let me dream alone.
And you see it never worked from the start,
All I got for all of my love was a broken heart.

Go away from my world,
And let me dream alone.
I'll dry my eyes and comb my hair,
And I'll pretend you're never there.

Now you're gone the breezes blow so sadly

You never could understand the love I wanted so badly.

Go away from my world,
And let me walk all alone.
All alone in my room,
All alone and so sad.

I can dream of how I wanted us to be
Dreams I have the kind I knew could ever be.

Go away from my world

Winter's almost gone,
Oh how I've waited so long
For summer nights.
When there's magic in the air
And I don't have a care,
All that matters to me
Is that you are here
On summer nights.

There's a little caf?r>Where we can hear music play.
They keep the lights turned down low
It's a place where lovers go.
There you'll hold me tight and say
Our love will always be this way
On summer nights.

At the end of the day
We can go down to the bay
And together hand in hand
We will walk along the sand
On summer nights.

In our little caf?r>We'll dance the night away
And we know our love will be
Always true eternally.

And when the moon begins to shine
I can see that you are mine
On summer nights.

On summer nights.
On summer nights
