Tom Waits — Trampled Rose

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 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 round You never pay just once to get the job done What I done to me, I done to you So what happened to the trampled rose? In the muddy street, with the fireworks and leaves A blind man with a cup I asked If he would sing "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine" I know this 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
