Street Singer's Farewell

Marianne Faithfull · Other Songs - Marianne Faithfull

Now we've come to this good ending

Happily all hands unite,

And with money in your pocket

You can clean up, price is right.

There are some who dwell in darkness,

There are others bathed in light.

You can see those who are shining -

Those in darkness pass from sight.

You can see those who are shining -

Those in darkness pass from sight.

Thank you.
