Interpret:

Alison Krauss

Album:

Raising Sand

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
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 play “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
