Some days I just wanna cry
Ooh, but the days gone by
On the corner of Fifth Street and Vine
Ooh, 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
Ooh, I never felt so sure
On that day for her love I would die
Ooh, 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
Ooh, 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
Ooh, watch the days go by
Some dreams still want me
Some memories still haunt me
And Angels will hide in the night
The tail lights are fading
But her face is there waiting in my mind
Some days you find love if you try
Ooh, but the days go by
Ooh, but the days go by
