These bitter tokens are worthless to me. verse 1 So you appear and say how I've grown, And fill me up with faces I've known. In this light they're far from divine, I've saved them up, I'll spend them when I have * time. verse 2 The salted taste of all your tears and woes, Sent me in haste, my melancholy rose, Those tasteless lips were closed, You watched me come, now see me go. Once I was happy in happy extremes, Packing my bags for the path of the free. From pillar to post I am driven, it seems. These bitter tokens are worthless to me. verse 3 Just like June, the curtains are closed The ghost of shame, he sits here and sighs. I'll love the flames like I loved the cold I'll learn to love the life Of the "Could I, could I, * could I" verse 4 So I won't cross my fingers any more You looked for rags, And found them at your door, How could you ask for more Than every thing you've heard before? Once I was happy in happy extremes, Packing my bags for the path of the free. From pillar to post I am driven, it seems. These bitter tokens are worthless to me.
