Waits, Tom - Trampled Rose Lyrics






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

    Good old Tom xxx

  7. D.... B....

    I kinda feel like a trampled rose

    D.... B....

    I am that trampled rose

  8. D.... B....

    What's the medicine for a love stricken heart that would give her roses to be trampled with her disgust

    D.... B....

    The medicine appears to be the belief that GOD hears my every prayer & loves me too much to leave me stuck like this forever

  9. D.... M....

    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

  10. J.... B....

  11. J.... B....

    america is not shitty..irs 2015.. the world is shitty..

  12. D.... A....

    How fitting : )

  13. r.... ....

    That made as much "sense" as Obama's "change".

    r.... ....

    Conservatives trying to grasp any cultural artifact that's remotely original and interesting is the gift that keeps on giving

    r.... ....

    Don´t compare this piece of art to Obama, you virgin fuck

    r.... ....

    This guy...

  14. A.... M....

    Only a world leader even in its biggest slumps. Lol. Haters gonna hate I supposed. Clever little devil, you.

  15. r.... ....

    misery is the river of the world † everything goes to hell anyway

  16. T.... ....

    The whole world's pretty shitty.
    Tom Waits is the not shitty part........

  17. O.... Z....

    With Tom Waits, the author.

  18. J.... K....

    I think you may have forgotten a word here, because clearly you meant to say that America's government is pretty shitty. People are people all over the world.

    J.... K....

    I'd love to have the American Government of 6 years ago instead of the shitty American Government we have in 2018.

  19. N.... ....

    I would say he is more the voice of people's suffering. All people of the Earth that have endured hardships, alcoholism, heartbreak, gambling have their feelings expressed by this man. He is a voice like no other.

  20. x.... ....

    thats why he sings his songs in this heartbroken tortured style

  21. C.... m....

    But America's pretty shitty.

  22. x.... ....

    Tom Waits is the voice of America
