The Dying Maid
Words and Music by Mattias Lies

There’s a dying maid on the edge of town
I’ve seen her a million times around
She is constantly living underground
Hiding in the disguises that she have found

I’ve been killing time seven days a week
Just trying to make her poor heart speak
But she is lost beyond her Cinderella sleep
Laying low in the dungeons of her grief

There’s a dying maid on the edge of town
I’ve been trying hard to seek the truth
To get a clue…

I’ve been killing time on the edge of town
Drying up all those teardrops from her eyes
And soon I got to see the hillside of her mind
And lately I’ve been discovering her kind

She’s a dying maid on the edge of town
I’ve been trying hard to get those dark clouds of her sky
But I am just another fool
Who’s trying hard to get a clue of something that is blue

And so the train goes on forever
In this vicious circle on and on
And it will pass before the morning breaks, like the other days
And there’s no way to save this dying maid

Stitches itches, it’s an endless mystery
Stitches itches, Lord I couldn’t set her free
Stitches itches, I just had to let her be
Stitches itches, with a bitter sweet relief
