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
