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, dear
