[Verse 1]
Poor girl, no Ma
Nothing much to speak of but a rough diamond
Sleep now and your angels will come, dear
Poor Matilda
Handcuffed hard to the wheel
And steering wildly
Through loves fields, so blindly

[Pre-Chorus]
Forever only takes its toll on some, oh oh
But, tonight you're sleeping alone
Without him
Tonight you're sleeping alone
Without him

[Chorus]
And everything went up in smoke
Like wildflowers
Wildflowers, dear

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Forever only takes its toll on some, oh oh
But, tonight you're sleeping alone
Without him
Tonight you're sleeping alone
Without him

[Chorus]
And everything went up in smoke
Like wildflowers
Wildflowers
Wildflowers
Wildflowers, oh
