Trampled Rose Lyrics - Tom Waits

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' 

Photos 

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
