A Petal Here, A Petal There 

Darling, won't you rest your weary eyes?

There's no use in waiting for sunrise

If the stars begin to dim

And if the earth ceases to spin

No matter where I am or where I've been

A person needs a place to rest her head

A place to put her burdens down to rest

I think I'll join the working class

I just want my work to last

Tell me now, is that too much to ask?

Sometime's there ain't no right; there ain't no wrong

There ain't a new way to put it in a song

I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry, Mom.

I think I've known it all along

Sometimes there ain't no right; there ain't no wrong

A flower for the gaze you shared with me

A stone for all our shitty memories

A petal here, a petal there

A petal for your lovely hair

A penance for the things I could not share

Darling, won't you rest your weary eyes?

There's no use in waiting for sunrise

If the stars begin to dim

And if the earth ceases to spin

No matter where I am or where I've been
