Trampled Rose (Tom Waits/Kathleen Brennan 2004)
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 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'd 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
