The B-side of the single I’m a Man, a Bo Diddley cover from 1965.
It succeeded on its own in the UK charts (#10) and still considered by many as a unique, original and groundbreaking in Rock.
The song differs not only from most rock songs of that time, but also from the band’s work in the album.

[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
See the stars come falling down from the sky
Gently passing, they kiss your tears when you cry
See the wind come softly blow your hair from your face
See the rain hide away in disgrace
[Chorus]
Still I'm sad
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 2]
For myself, my tears just fall into dust
Day will dry them, night will find they are lost
Now I find the wind is blowing time into my heart
Let the rain fall, for we are apart
[Outro]
How I'm sad
How I'm sad
Oh, how I'm sad...
