[Verse 1]
Take me to the station
And put me on a train
I've got no expectations
To pass through here again

[Verse 2]
Once I was a rich man
Now I am so poor
But never in my sweet short life
Have I felt like this before

[Verse 3]
Your heart is like a diamond
You throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leaving me
You pack my peace of mind

[Verse 4]
Our love was like the water
That splashes on a stone
Our love is like our music
It's here, and then it's gone

[Verse 5]
So take me to the airport
And put me on a plane
I got no expectations
To pass through here again

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
