Wild Flowers

Poor girl, no Ma

Nothing much to speak of but a rough diamond

Sleep now and your angels will come, dear



Poor Matilda,

Handcuffed hard to the wheel

And steering wildly

Through loves 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 promenade

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 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
