A world of objects, empty things,

That clutter up my shelf

Things I bought because I thought

They'd represent my Self.

A purple ribbon for my hair

a book, a bowl, a song

Things I wanted yesterday

do not stay mine for long.

A purple ribbon for my hair

Things I wanted yesterday

do not stay mine for long.

Nothing is for me to keep

It's only mine to borrow

If only I could stop the want

I'd never feel the sorrow

I'd never feel the sorrow

How wrong I was to listen to the song

About things which grow like weed

Which reveals less the subject that is sung

From such chains I need be freed

From such chains I need be freed

For like a song that has no end

My journey will go on

I cannot carry needless things

My back is not that strong.
