A rose in my left hand Feet on a park bench Time is an old friend So I sit and wait She appears in the darkness A red-dressed harlot Says life is just drifting Until you catch a break But when the winds all change And the light falls And the day disappears In the night fog And a birth just slowly turns to decay When will I learn Crashed and I burn Waded through the mud And I wait my turn When the karma comes fast Only pass what you learn Past turn to ash And keep what you earn When will I learn Crashed and I burn Waded through the mud And I wait my turn When the karma comes fast Only pass what you learn Past turn to ash And keep what you earn I'm wandering in wonder Waves pull me under When I hear the rumbling Off the thunder on the ridge Who knows what my name is When it's all so aimless Maybe it means as much As I tell myself it does When will I learn Crashed and I burn Waded through the mud And I wait my turn When the karma comes fast Only pass what you learn Past turn to ash And keep what you earn When will I learn Crashed and I burn Waded through the mud And I wait my turn When the karma comes fast Only pass what you learn Past turn to ash And keep what you earn When will I learn Crashed and I burn Waded through the mud And I wait my turn When the karma comes fast Only pass what you learn Past turn to ash And keep what you earn
