Precious Little

"All the gold and silver
can measure up my love for you
its so material

precious little you given me
precious little you got to say
precious time is what you've taken
wish I could find you again

what can it get me to stand by you
precious little I got to show for it
me as the faucet you as the drain
precious little I got to know for it

I gave you a wristwatch you
wouldn't even give me the time of day
you gave me a memory a memory
is what you are to me
times passing I got no time
to look back and you know it
but I got to cause you're there
and I'm here so blue
and gold and silver
but I got to and I do
I laugh til I'm sick
til I vomit til I spit
till I piss til I shit
till I puke up everything
I got which is

Precious little is what you are to me
precious little is what you are
I don't think of you much
I got little to say still
I wish I could find you and give
you my precious little
all the gold and silver".



( Patti Smith, Witt)
