Wild Flowers Songtext
von Ryan Adams & the Cardinals

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
