Lyrics for 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 to the wheel And steering wildly Through love's fields, so blindly Forever only takes its toll on some, oh 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 it's toll on some, oh But, tonight you're sleeping alone without him Tonight you're sleeping alone without him And everything went up in smoke Like wildflowers Wildflowers Wildflowers Wildflowers Oh
