Poor girl, no Ma
Nothing much to speak of but a rough diamond
Sleep now and your angels will come, dear

Poor Matilda
Handcuffed to the wheel
And steering wildly

Through love's fields, so blindly

Forever only takes its toll on some

But, tonight you're sleeping alone without him
Tonight you're sleeping alone without him
And everything went up in smoke like wildflowers

Wildflowers, dear

Poor girl, lonely

Shuffles through the parade
Of a sleepless circus serenade
Hold on, dear


Poor girl, no Ma
Sister steals her a coat

For the windless breezes
Sleep now and Jesus will come, dear


Forever only takes it's toll on some
But, tonight you're sleeping alone without him
Tonight you're sleeping alone without him

And everything went up in smoke like wild flowers
Wildflowers, dear
