[Intro]

[Verse 1]
When the wind blows, and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow, with a head full of snow
In the window, there’s a face you know
Don’t the night pass slow? Don’t the night pass slow?

[Chorus]
The sound of strangers bringing nothing to my mind
Just another mad, mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
I’m just about a moonlight mile on down the road

[Verse 2]
Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Going to warm my bones, going to warm my bones
I’ve got silence on my radio
Let the air waves flow, let the air waves flow

[Chorus]
For I am living under strange, strange skies
Just another mad, mad day on the road
My dreams are fading down the railway lines
I’m just about a moonlight mile on down the road

[Bridge]
I’m riding, sister, I’m dreaming
I’m riding down your moonlight mile
I’m riding, sister, I’m dreaming
I’m riding down your moonlight mile
I’m riding down that moonlight mile

[Outro]
Come on, sugar
Come on
Come on now
Let it go now
Oh yeah, let it go now
Yeah, I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Yeah, I’m just about a moonlight mile, going down the road
Down the road, down the road
Yeah

[Instrumental interlude]

[Audience Applause]

Just one more from the album

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.
