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
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 serenade
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
But, tonight you're sleeping
alone without him
Tonight you're sleeping alone without him
And everything went up
in smoke like wild flowers
Wildflowers,
