The Spring Standards

Lyrics

Oh you commandeered my love
It was useful for the time
Like whiskey and wine
Oh you set these flowers drying
Hung up while they're dying
But better left to lay
And oh my love won't you take a little of this hurt from me
And oh my love won't you share the burden of this love with me
And oh still I'm crushing pennies
They're weighing down my pockets
Useless in my debts
And oh laying down in my arms
If loving you's a crime
Lord knows I'll serve my time
And oh my love won't you take a little of this hurt from me
And oh my love won't you share the burden of this love with me
Oh you commandeered my love
It was useful for the time
Like whiskey and wine
