Some days I just wanna cry

Oooo, but the days gone by

On the corner of Fifth Stree and Vine

Oooo, with a bottle of wine

The lights turn to red and I hustle for my bread

Walking down between the cars with my sign

And most of them ignore me

But sometimes I can score me a find

Took a wife back in 1974

Oooo, I never felt so sure

On that day for her love I would die

Oooo, but the days go by

We moved in together

Some days were better

But I got this little problem with my mind

Then we lost a baby

And I spent all my time getting high

Chicago was cold and last spring

Ooooh, went upon that rain

Groundhound bus stop on I-95

They're gonna let me stay the night

And I'll move on with the morning light

Oooo, watch the days go by

Some dreams still want me

Some memories still haunt me

And Angels will hide in the night

The taillights are fading

But her face is there waiting in my mind

Some days you find love if you try

Oooo, but the days go by

Oooo, but the days go by
