Trampled Rose

Lyrics

Long way going to get my medicine
 Sky's the autumn grey of a lonely wren
 Piano from a window played
 'Gone Tomorrow, Gone Yesterday'
 I found it in the street
 At first I did not see
 Lying at my feet
 A trampled rose
 Passing the hat in church
 It never stops going around
 You never pay just once
 To get the job done
 What I done to me
 I done to you
 What happened to the trampled rose?
 In the muddy street
 With the fireworks and leaves
 A blind man with a cup I asked
 Would he sing 'Kisses Sweeter Than Wine'
 I know that rose
 Like I know my name
 The one I gave my love
 It was the same
 Now I find it in the street
 A trampled rose
