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
