Tom Waits "Trampled Rose" lyrics

Trampled Rose

Long way going toGet my medicineSky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren

Piano from a window playedGone tomorrow, gone yesterday

I found it in the streetAt first I did not seeLying at my feetA trampled rose

Passing the hat in churchIt never stops going around

You never pay just onceTo get the job done

What I done to me,I done to youWhat happened to the trampled rose?

In the muddy streetWith the fireworks and leaves

A blind man with a cup I askedIf he'd sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'

I know that rose,Like I know my nameThe one I gave my love,It was the sameNow I find it in the street,A trampled rose
