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
